10 jours sans maman
Film | 2020
Release in cinemas: February 19, 2020

Comedy | Runtime: 1h38

Antoine, the HR director of a large DIY chain, on the verge of a promotion, finds himself alone to run the house and supervise their four kids when his wife Isabelle decides to take a few days for herself. Quickly overwhelmed, he must balance his professional ambitions with family duties he had largely neglected until now.
The film hinges on a proven duo dynamic: Franck Dubosc as the overwhelmed, bumbling father, Aure Atika as the mother who, according to the director, “is the pillar” of a family the father has gradually neglected. Alexis Michalik rounds out the main cast. The shoot demanded an extended casting process to find the four children — including a two-year-old — with director Ludovic Bernard insisting that the family bonds read as authentic on screen.
The runaway success of the first film paved the way for a sequel, 10 jours encore sans maman, released in April 2023 and also directed by Ludovic Bernard.
