In We, the Leroys, Sandrine and Christophe Leroy have been a couple for many years. As their children approach leaving the nest, Sandrine suddenly tells her husband that she wants a divorce.
Facing this sudden split, Christophe refuses to let the family fall apart without a fight. He crafts a weekend road trip to the key places in their family history, hoping to rekindle memories of his wife and rebuild their bond.
This spontaneous journey becomes a family road trip, full of awkward moments, shared memories, confrontations and revelations. The children watch their parents' crisis with keen clarity, while every stop forces the Leroys to revisit their shared past.
In his debut feature, Florent Bernard, a screenwriter and humorist who made his name online and on television, tackles separation with a bittersweet comic touch. The film aims less to stack gags than to spotlight the gaps, the unspoken, and the tenderness that endures within a family in the middle of a transition.
The project was written with Charlotte Gainsbourg in mind, who portrays Sandrine. José Garcia plays Christophe, a father doing his best to save his relationship, even if his efforts sometimes come off awkward. The cast also features several French actors and comedians from the scene, including Baptiste Lecaplain, Jérôme Niel, Benjamin Tranié and Sophie-Marie Larrouy.
Presented at the Alpe d’Huez International Comedy Film Festival 2024, where it won the Grand Prize, We, the Leroys leans on everyday settings, transit hubs and a vacation mood gone wrong to tell the story of a family compelled to confront its own history.
Nous, les Leroy may appeal to viewers seeking a family-friendly French comedy that is both accessible and melancholic, centered on couples, children, and shared memories. The film is less aimed at those craving pure slapstick, as its tone leans more on emotion, observation, and moments of family awkwardness.
The official trailer for Nous, les Leroy offers a glimpse of the weekend Christophe envisions to try to reunite his family despite the divorce announcement.
