Following a jewel heist, two criminals, Lucien and Paulo are on the run when opportunity knocks – they are mistakenly escorted onto a bus going to a summer camp in the French countryside for young adults with disabilities.
To avoid detection, Paulo assumes the role of an intellectually disabled camper with his father, Lucien acting as his "caregiver".
But slowly, Lucien and Paulo warm to their situation and learn there’s more to life than a quick score. It is a story that perfectly mixes humour and drama as it highlights the life and daily challenges of people with disabilities.
"This film has stormed the French box office. It’s not only the biggest hit so far this year, it's also the highest grossing French movie since the 2020 pandemic." - Variety
Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei on Thursday, 23rd October at 6pm and Thursday, 30th October at 8pm

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
