Mon chou

In a casting room, Claire and Louis judge fruits and vegetables as if they were contestants in a beauty contest. Weight, appearance and texture become absurd elimination criteria. After a series of ruthless rejections, their choice falls on a Brussels sprout, plain and unpopular, deemed “perfect” because it fits the norms. A short, ironic satire of society’s imposed beauty standards.

Directed by Léa Panichi, Mon chou leans on a strong ensemble — Hamza Essalouh, Meria Clerfain — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2026.
