Ça rend Heureux
Joachim Lafosse
Fabrizio, an unemployed filmmaker, is assailed by setbacks: threatened with having his unemployment benefit stopped, going nowhere with his girlfriend, faced with the commercial failure of his first film... With the energy that comes from despair, he decides to make a new "wild" film, inspired by his day to day life and the experience those around him. A creative solidarity forms around Fabrizio's enthusiasm. However, his desire to mix reality and fiction, and the pleasure he has in confusing both, will not leave his partners unaffected...
