A DIFFICULT YEAR
France, subtitles, 2024, Comedy/Drama
112 mins, Rated M - (strong language)

Both in debt up to their necks, Albert and Bruno have turned to a community worker to try and help get a grip on their lives.

However, at one of their group sessions, the two young men stumble into an adjoining meeting room hosting a group of social activists.

Attracted more by the free beer and food than the group’s struggle to protect the environment, Albert and Bruno join the movement on a whim, thinking it will be easy - but soon find themselves needing to make some serious life decisions.

"A beautiful story with a fabulous energy and enough surprises and twists to keep you pleasantly off-balance." - IMDB
