“Running from the Nazis? There’s only one thing more important than a good plan: A lucky star...”
In 1940, in France, Jean Chevalin lives with his family in great poverty after deserting the army.

This ruse will lead his family on a journey that will gradually dismantle his prejudices.
This film offers a poignant blend of wartime tension and unexpected humor. It's a character-driven journey exploring identity, prejudice, and the bonds of family against a backdrop of historical upheaval. Expect a reflective, humanist experience that balances lighthearted moments with deeper emotional resonance.
