To escape the police, a son and his father find refuge in a summer camp for young adults with disabilities, posing as a resident and his educator. The beginning of trouble and a wonderful human experience that will change them forever
Unifrance
- Un p’tit truc en plus is a film as funny as it is endearing. It is a story that goes to the heart of people, through a mixture of innocence, humanity and laughter. Artus thus succeeds in writing a popular comedy, in the noble sense of the term, which manages to bring ordinary people together with people, often reclusive in their institutions, and little known to the general public.
Translated from AVoir ALire review
- “It’s been very heartwarming to read some of the comments that people have left after seeing the film, saying that they hadn’t seen a movie in cinema for a long time and it made them want to come back,” says Forette.

- Such a turbulent sociopolitical context is also a draw for the feelgood comedy, suggests Olivier Albou, co–founder and president of Other Angle, which is handling international sales. “It is a film that celebrates simplicity,” he says. “It’s not aiming for a brilliant mise–en–scene – it just zooms in on simple characters and has a simple message, which is what audiences in and outside of France are looking for today.”
Screen Daily
- The film perfectly mixes humor and drama, showing the challenges of people with disabilities without mockery. The actors, including Artus, Clovis Cornillac and Alice Belaïdi, are excellent and make the film touching. Basically, “Un p’tit truc en plus” is a film to see absolutely, which makes you laugh and think, with a lot of heart and meaning.
