A comedic spy adventure that affectionately parodies 1980s espionage tropes while mining humor from cultural clash and absurdist character dynamics.

1981. Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath, aka OSS 117, is back. For this new mission – more delicate, more dangerous and more torrid than ever – he is forced to team up with a young new colleague, the promising OSS 1001.
