About Salut, j'arrive
Gérard Travers has known Minou since childhood. After completing his military service, he moved in with her, in all honor, until he could find something better. Together, they establish a protocol for living harmoniously as roommates without stepping on each other's toes, but little by little, Gérard becomes irresistibly attracted to Minou and vice versa. They realize that they've always been made for each other.
Directed by Gérard Poteau, Salut, j'arrive leans on a strong ensemble — Pierre Jolivet, Christiane Krüger, Michel Galabru — 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 1982.
