Released in theaters in 2023, 10 More Days Without Mom is a family comedy directed by Ludovic Bernard and written by Mathieu Oullion. A direct sequel to 10 Days Without Mom, the film sees the return of Franck Dubosc and Aure Atika, along with notable appearances by Swann Joulin. After its theatrical run, this comedy will be broadcast on M6 on Friday, January 23, 2026, during prime time.
Two years after the events of the first film, Antoine Mercier is now a full-time stay-at-home dad. Formerly a HR director, he paused his career to raise his four children, while his wife Isabelle dedicates herself fully to her new career as a lawyer. Exhausted but committed to his role, Antoine looks forward to a mountain vacation, hoping it will provide some much-needed relief for the whole family.
The departure, however, turns into a real ordeal when Isabelle has to stay in Paris for an unexpected work obligation. Antoine is left alone with the children at a ski resort, facing logistical chaos, sibling squabbles, and the pressure of social expectations that he’s still struggling to handle. The stay becomes a series of unforeseen events, blending everyday challenges with a personal crisis of confidence.
Following the success of the first installment, which drew nearly 1.2 million moviegoers to theaters, this sequel marks a new milestone for Ludovic Bernard, who is stepping into the director’s chair for the very first time for a second film. The movie explores the theme of role reversal within a relationship, tackling lightheartedly the issues of social decline, others’ perceptions, and maintaining family balance.
The filming largely took place in Courchevel, set against a stunning mountain backdrop that embraces a cinematic vibe and lends itself perfectly to comedic and burlesque situations. The director pays homage to popular films, from Camping to Les Bronzés font du ski, all while maintaining an approachable, multi-generational tone. The natural chemistry among the young actors, who have grown since the first installment, also adds to the warm, family-oriented atmosphere.
Driven by Franck Dubosc's comedic energy and a tone blending humor with tenderness, 10 More Days Without Mom is primarily aimed at families and fans of popular French comedies, continuing a tradition of entertaining films focused on parenthood and everyday life.
