Le Rêve américain

French comedy by Anthony Marciano – 2h01

Starring Jean-Pascal Zadi, Raphaël Quenard, Olga Mouak

No one would have bet on Jérémy, stuck behind the counter of a video store in Amiens, or on Bouna, when he was cleaning at Orly airport. With no contacts, no money, and only a rudimentary grasp of English, nothing predestined them to become influential agents in the NBA.

Inspired by a true story, this film recounts the journey of two outsiders who, thanks to their absolute passion for basketball and their unwavering friendship, overcame all obstacles to achieve their American Dream.
