The movie that cost more than the D-Day Landings

ComedyWar

It is 1943 in Paris. Like so many others, the Bourbelle family's home has been taken over by the Germans and they now live in their cellar. Little do they know that the son, Guy-Hubert Bourdelle, is far from being the cowardly hairdresser he pretends. He is in truth the Germans’ most feared opponent: le super-résistant!

VIBE

A delightfully campy WWII romp where a hidden identity fuels witty repartee and unexpected romance. It's a satirical take on resistance, blending humor with a touch of melodrama for a fun, if slightly absurd, viewing experience.
