About Le soleil au-dessus des nuages
Jean, a little embittered and insupportable office worker, is fired for his heinous behavior. Fifty, single and revanchist, he has no friends and finds himself face to face with no future. He then meets Antoine, a young magician adept at meditation. Intrigued by this strange character who responds to his aggressiveness with a resolutely optimistic vision of life, Jean decides to accompany him to La Baule. On the way, despite some unforeseen and surprising encounters, the duo will get to know each other.
Directed by Éric Le Roch, Le soleil au-dessus des nuages leans on a strong ensemble — Daniel Prévost, Serge Hazanavicius, Hélène Vincent — 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 2001.
