With its Breton setting and well-crafted plot revolving around a lottery scam, the film has everything it takes to appeal to a wide audience looking for a good time out.

- SORTIR À PARIS

Is it bad luck to rob a dead man if everyone wins?

On one of Brittany's smaller isles, best friends Jean-Jean (Didier Bourdon, Promise at Dawn, AF FFF19) and Henri (Gérard Darmon, Employee of the Month, AF FFF22) find their quiet, ordinary life disrupted when a local claims the "hyper million" national lottery. Convinced they can rub shoulders, and euros, with the winner, the two set out, only to find that luck is already on their side – the local has died with the winning ticket in his hand! Armed with a spark of ingenuity and more than a bit of bad improvisation, Jean-Jean and Henri settle on a foolproof plan: a lottery scam with the whole village on side. What could go wrong?

This sweetly hysterical film (a remake of the Irish classic Waking Ned Devine) from Hervé Mimran blends absurdity, heart, and a lot of mischief. Misfits Jean-Jean and Henri prove that you're never too old to raise a little hell. Set in stunning Brittany, this cast of colourful characters will steal your heart. A charming intergenerational story of what we can achieve as a community (yes, even fraud), THE SCAMMERS is a delightful romp for the whole family.
