After conquering the French stage with their rural humor, Maria Bodin and her son Christian land in Thailand in a totally offbeat comedy-adventure film directed by Frédéric Forestier. In Les Bodin's en Thaïlande, the two protagonists have to adapt to a totally unfamiliar environment, far from their native countryside. This culture shock gives rise to hilarious situations, in which the duo demonstrate their inimitable peasant common sense in the face of the country's exoticism.
Les Bodin's en Thaïlande is broadcast on M6 on Friday, March 21, 2025 at 9:10pm.
Synopsis: *Maria Bodin, a cunning and overbearing 87-year-old farmer, is faced with a new ordeal: her son, Christian, 50, has lost his taste for life. Following the advice of her psychiatrist, who recommends a change of scenery, Mother Bodin resigns herself to breaking her piggy bank to pay for her son's vacation... in Thailand! When mother and son Bodin set off for the first time, more than ten thousand kilometers from their native land, the shock was enormous: hotel clubs, tourists, white sandy beaches and exotic massages, they clearly didn't have the instructions... it's not easy to get a change of scenery for peasants! The Bodin's embark on a whirlwind road-movie across the country, with only their daring, their hearts and their peasant common sense in their luggage.
Les Bodin's en Thaïlande is aimed at those who appreciate popular French comedies with quirky, endearing characters. Fans of the duo will be delighted to rediscover their simple but effective humor, based on absurd situations and tasty lines. This film is perfect for a broad family audience, combining adventure, humor and a change of scenery, and will particularly appeal to those who enjoy comedies such as Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis or Les Tuche. The confrontation between peasant culture and the exotic setting of Thailand adds a refreshing dimension to the Bodin's universe.
Les Bodin's en Thaïlande is a light, entertaining comedy, ideal for family fun. With characters as funny and engaging as ever, this wacky adventure at the end of the world is a treat for fans of the duo. Whether you've already been won over by their humor or are just discovering their world, Maria and Christian are sure to make you laugh.
