Le Technicien

After a painful separation 25 years ago, Séverine chose to immerse herself in work. She has created her own publishing house, small, of course, but one which gives her full satisfaction. Until the day when Jean-Pierre, her ex-husband, former business banker, shows up in his office. He is completely ruined, unemployed, and threatened with expulsion. Séverine agrees to help him on two conditions: nobody needs to know who he really is, and he will be a ... surface technician.

Directed by Vitold Krysinsky, Le Technicien leans on a strong ensemble — Roland Giraud, Maaike Jansen, Zoé Bruneau — 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 2010.
