In spite of their total inexperience, three suburban lascars launch themselves into close protection. Thanks to a "mythical plan", they are assigned to protect Marie Van Verten: a capricious and whimsical young woman, heiress of the biggest fortune in Belgium... And incidentally, a target for over-trained killers! Will our heroes' sense of improvisation be enough to get them out of trouble?
Directed by Denis Thybaud, Les Mythos leans on a strong ensemble — Stéphanie Crayencour, Ralph Amoussou, Alban Ivanov — 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 2011.
