J'invente rien
Not easy to be a genius!
Directed by Michel Leclerc
A lighthearted romantic comedy about a lazy dreamer forced to prove himself through invention, balancing marital tension with quirky humor and the possibility of redemption.
Paul has no specific life goal, and Mathilde, who provides for their household, despairs that he can find one. If he continues like this, she may well drop him. So Paul thinks he's got to invent something.
