202605.9 / 10

A lighthearted mistaken-identity comedy about an ordinary retiree caught in an absurd media circus, driven by comedic chaos and the determination to reclaim his normal life.

​Arrested by mistake and mistaken for France’s most wanted man, Serge Martin, a peaceful retiree, becomes the target of the media. Caught up in a never-ending whirlwind, he’ll do everything he can to prove his innocence and get his life back… if that’s even possible!
