EN geral

Two employees of a Parisian travel agency have a business idea: to recreate Robinson Crusoe's "stay" on a desert island as a tourist attraction. Yes, that's right, be shipwrecked on an island, without water, electricity or supplies and live a "radical experience". Of course, not everything goes according to plan. This is the starting point for the third feature film by the great filmmaker Jacques Rozier (who died in June this year), a film that was very little seen and never released commercially in France (as a result of the bankruptcy of the production company). A delightful adventure comedy that the director retrospectively saw as a "road movie ahead of its time".
