Original title: Gérald le Conquérant
Nationality: France
Synopsis: His name is Gérald. His goal: to restore Normandy's reputation. His method: to build the country's largest amusement park in honor of William the Conqueror. And to achieve this, he is prepared to go to great lengths... Remember this name, as it will go down in history.
Gérald le Conquérant is a continuation of the work of Fabrice Éboué, who is known for comedies that combine black humor, absurdity, and social satire. The plot is based on a strong attachment to Normandy, which is used here as the central setting, with most of the film shot in the region. This approach gives the film a strong visual identity and a clear cultural anchor.
The participation of Franck Dubosc as a guest star adds an extra touch of popularity to a cast dominated by Fabrice Éboué. The screenplay, co-written with Thomas Gaudin, promises lively dialogue and absurd situations where ambition, local rivalries, and the quest for recognition intersect.
Aimed at fans of offbeat French comedies, Gérald le Conquérant evokes the spirit of films such as Les Visiteurs and La Loi de la jungle, somewhere between historical parody and contemporary farce. The project promises to be a satire that is both popular and rooted in regional culture, playing on the contrast between dreams of greatness and the pettiness of everyday life.
