Il a déjà tes yeux (He's Already Got Your Eyes) is a French comedy directed by Lucien Jean-Baptiste, which takes a light-hearted but lucid look at a little-trodden subject:transracial adoption. Paul and Sali, a black couple, adopt a blond, blue-eyed white baby. A situation that provokes incomprehension among their families and friends. The film is based on an effective social comedy, with Aïssa Maïga and Lucien Jean-Baptiste sincerely portraying a couple confronted with the absurdity of prejudice. Zabou Breitman completes the cast, playing a central role in the adoption process.
Il a déjà tes yeux will be available on Netflix from May 17, 2025.
Here's the trailer for Il a déjà tes yeux, an endearing and daring comedy that tackles stereotypes with tenderness and humor.
Synopsis: Paul is married to Sali. Everything would be fine if they could have a child. But then Sali gets the call they've been waiting for: their adoption application has been approved. He's adorable, 6 months old and his name is Benjamin. He's blond, blue-eyed and white. They... are black!
Il a déjà tes yeux (He's Already Got Your Eyes) could appeal to viewers looking for a humane, topical comedy in the vein of Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu? or La Vie scolaire (School Life). The film tackles sensitive subjects with humor and kindness, questioning family norms, racial representations and cultural resistance through a story of unconditional parental love.
Il a déjà tes yeux combines lightness, tenderness and commitment in a social comedy about adoption and diversity. Carried by an endearing couple, the film offers a refreshing look at contemporary family dynamics and the stereotypes that still hold sway in society.
