Délocalisés will hit cinema screens from March 12, 2025.

Synopsis: On the day Redouane is to be promoted to foreman, he learns that the mattress factory where he works is being relocated to India. Determined to keep his promotion, he agrees to leave with a guarantee of double pay, and takes his girlfriend Marguerite with him. Once there, he discovers that his boss has tricked him: he will indeed be paid double, but in rupees. Furious, he decides to take revenge by teaching the teams the best of French social rights: strikes, demonstrations and RTT, with the sole aim of overthrowing his boss. Between culture shock and social struggle, Redouane leads an unexpected revolution that could well change the destiny of the factory... and his own.

Délocalisés will appeal to those who like bitingFrench comedies, where humor is used to tackle serious themes. Fans of films like Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis or Le Grand Bain will probably appreciate this offbeat exploration of cultural differences and union struggles.

The film also promises to attract fans of Redouane Bougheraba, who plays an improvised hero with a unique style that is both funny and endearing. Audiences in search of family entertainment, driven by comic performances and a touch of social satire, will find plenty to enjoy.

With its blend of socialcomedy and culture shock, Délocalisés offers a humorous perspective on universal issues. Ali and Redouane Bougheraba have produced a promising directorial debut, with charismatic actors and a resolutely original plot.
