When corny pop singer Gilles Gabriel (Auteuil) dies in a car accident that involves the austere accountant Jean-Christian Ranu (Chabat), his spirit invades Ranu and they become two entities forced to share one body. Frustrated by this new existence that shows little prospect for excitement, Gilles is determined to make his long-awaited comeback through Jean-Christian, even though the latter seems light years away from being a pop star. Disconcerted at first to hear Gilles’ voice talk through him, Jean-Christian gradually lets Gilles Gabriel take control of his personality. ABOUT NICOLAS & BRUNO Nicolas Charlet and Bruno Lavaine, A.K.A Nicolas & Bruno, started their career making music videos, commercials and jingles for television. Known for their skits Amour, gloire et débats d'idées (1997-1998) and most of all their cult classic series Message à caractère informatif (1998-2000) on French television channel Canal +, they also adapted the British TV series The Office (Le Bureau on Canal +), with François Berléand (Comedy of Power, Transporter 2) in the title role. In 2007, they co-wrote the successful 99 Francs (COL•COA 2008) with Jan Kounen, an adaptation of Frédéric Beigbeder’s novel. For their first feature film as writer-directors, Nicolas & Bruno have teamed up with two of France’s best comedians, Daniel Auteuil and Alain Chabat, whose Chez Wam also produced the film. PRESS "Freshman feature from TV helming duo Nicolas & Bruno is an enjoyably offbeat vaudeville work that's expertly played by vets Daniel Auteuil and Alain Chabat, who playfully pull off a retro-schizo scenario best described as "Being Michael Bolton." (…) Auteuil pulls off wacko loser Ranu with magnificent comic timing and understatement, like the long-lost nephew of Robert De Niro's Rupert Pupkin in The King of Comedy." (Variety)
