Only 12 reviews on Imdb, for such a lovely, original, quirky, witty and endearing French comedy. Definitely an unknown gem!
The good: this story is hilarious. It simply is. And hilarious is all a comedy needs to be. But this movie is much more. It's an endearing tale of motherly love and of love in general. It's better to die young and have loved passionately than to haved lived long and never have felt TRUE LOVE.
The story is about a mother, who had to give away her baby at birth. Now the mother is dying, but she wants to find her lost son before her illness takes her last breath.
Of all people the mother asks (out of neccesity) the help of a suicidal deskclerk and a flirtatious blind man to find her lost son. It's completely bonkers, with suicide attempt, police chases and shootouts, but it is undeniably OH SO FUNNY.
Bless the French for making such HUMAN and PASSIONATE comdies!
