About the film

What it’s about

Jérémy works behind the counter of a video store, and Bouna cleans airports. A chance encounter brings them together over a shared passion for basketball. With no money and no connections, they decide to become sports agents. Their lack of experience is offset by audacity and a belief in doing business with a human touch.

What hooks you

Jean-Pascal Zadi and Raphaël Quenard trained in basketball for three months before filming to make the game scenes convincing. The NBA assisted the filmmakers, and street scenes set in the USA were shot in Canada for logistical and financial reasons. The comedy comes from the producers of "1+1".

Who it’s for

It is a good pick for those who enjoy underdog comedies rooted in real events, with a mix of sports ambition and lighthearted humor.

Trivia

  1. Before filming began, the lead actors Raphaël Quenard and Jean-Pascal Zadi actively played basketball for 3 months so that the basketball game scenes in the film would look more convincing and realistic.
  2. Due to logistics and financial considerations, all street scenes set in the USA were filmed in Canada. NBA representatives helped the filmmakers a great deal to make the film as realistic as possible.
