With La Cache, Lionel Baier(La Dérive des continents (au sud)) draws on Christophe Boltanski 's autobiographical novel to deliver a story in which humor and family secrets mingle with the upheavals of May 68. The film takes on a special dimension, as it is one of the last films made by Michel Blanc, who died on October 3, 2024. The cult actor from Les Bronzés and Grosse Fatigue plays a member of a family withdrawn into a Parisian apartment, while nine-year-old Christophe discovers the family history through a mysterious hiding place.
La Cache will be released in cinemas from March 19, 2025.
Synopsis: 9-year-old Christophe lives through the events of May '68, hiding out with his grandparents in the family apartment in Paris, surrounded by his uncles and great-grandmother. They all bivouac around a mysterious cache, which will gradually reveal its secrets...
With its intergenerational cast, La Cache explores family tensions and ties through a chronicle full of humor and tenderness. The film is based on the confrontation of four generations in a closed-door setting, where the secrets of the past resurface before the eyes of a curious child. This story, which blends memory and comedy, could appeal to those who appreciate films such as La Famille Bélier or Le Nom des Gens, where intimate history meets great history.
Michel Blancpassed away in October 2024, leaving behind him a career marked by roles as funny as they were touching. La Cache is one of his last films, and his performance in it will no doubt be watched with particular emotion by audiences. His last screen role will be in Le Routard, another comedy due in cinemas on April 2, 2025. His presence alongside Dominique Reymond and William Lebghil in La Cache offers a meeting of several generations of actors, in a film that rightly speaks of transmission.
With its light-hearted tone and tender look at childhood, La Cache promises to be a sensitive, nostalgic comedy that will appeal to a wide audience. The film also has a symbolic dimension, as it is one of the last roles for Michel Blanc, a key figure in French cinema.
