On aurait dû aller en Grèce is the new family comedy from Nicolas Benamou, a director known for such popular hits as Babysitting and À fond. This new film brings together a brilliant cast, led by French film legend Gérard Jugnot(Les Choristes, Le Brio) and bitingly funny Elie Semoun(Ducobu, Les Trois Frères). Joining them are Virginie Hocq, a renowned Belgian actress, and Vincent Desagnat, a frequent guest in recent French comedies. This time, the action takes place in Corsica, a place as beautiful as it is tense, where the Rousselot family's vacation will be anything but relaxing.
On aurait dû aller en Grèce will be released in cinemas from November 13, 2024.
Synopsis: Unable to take their customary one-week family vacation to Greece, the Rousselots land in Corsica.

Every year, the Rousselots fly to Greece for their one-week vacation. But this time, unforeseen circumstances force them to change their plans.

Then, some over-invasive neighbors intrude on their daily routine, triggering a series of misunderstandings and family score-settling . Between idyllic landscapes and island tensions, the vacation quickly turns into chaos for this family in search of tranquility.
This comedy is aimed at fans of light-hearted family films, typical of French cinema, who appreciate humor based on absurd situations and misunderstandings. Starring comedy icons Gérard Jugnot and Elie Semoun, On aurait dû aller en Grèce promises hilarious moments rooted in the everyday life of families on vacation. The dynamic between the various characters should recall the typical interactions of films like Camping or Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis, where cultural and relational misunderstandings are at the heart of the plot.
