Le Teckel is a comedy directed by Mathieu Sapin, adapted from the comic book of the same name by Hervé Bourhis. The film, produced by Nolita and currently in production from November 4 to December 11, 2025, stars Franck Dubosc, Daphné Patakia, Chiara Mastroianni, Zabou Breitman, and Philippe Katerine. The project is co-produced by France 2 Cinéma, Light Holding, The Man Prod, Radar Films, and Versus Production.
The plot follows Guy Farkas, a key figure in the pharmaceutical industry, known for his impeccable methods and efficiency. When a scandal hits the Sopharma laboratory, management sends Marylou, a young up-and-coming executive, to accompany him to Charente. Their goal: to restore the company's image and identify the mole behind the media leaks.
This professional support quickly becomes a side mission when Marylou receives a confidential order: to bring down the man known as Le Teckel. Between outdated protocols and new strategies, their tour turns into a confrontation between two visions of the profession, in a rural setting where the stakes prove to be more complex than expected.
The official trailer will be added as soon as it is released by Le Pacte.
Mathieu Sapin adapts Hervé Bourhis' comic strip, already known for its humorous take on everyday professions. The film was shot between Charente and Île-de-France. Franck Dubosc returns to comedy in a unique professional setting, surrounded by a cast combining established talents and figures from the French cultural scene. Distribution is handled by Le Pacte and France TV Distribution internationally.
The film is aimed at audiences who enjoy contemporary comedies focused on workplace relationships, generational differences, and situations based on the contrast between old methods and new practices.
