AlongsideAlice David, Philippe Lacheau, Elodie Fontan, and many members of the Fifi gang, the film promises a delightful mix of humor and mystery. Filmed from June 23 to September 5, it features a sleepwalking hero who finds himself in a situation that is as incomprehensible as it is dangerous.

Scheduled for release on February 3, 2027, Somnambule tells the story of a man who wakes up to find an impossible scene in his apartment: his boss's daughter tied up in his bathroom. With no memory of the previous night, he becomes the prime suspect in a case he must solve himself.
