Marave
Film | 2026
Available on Prime Video on July 8, 2026
Comedy | MMA
Directed by Adrien Piquet-Gauthier and Nathanaël Guedj

The film follows Manolo, played by Redouane Bougheraba, a naïve yet generous fairground showman who is reunited with his older brother Georges, portrayed by Ramzy Bedia, after twenty years apart. Their ailing father nudges them to reconnect, but the reunion is far from smooth, laced with tensions.
Georges, an unreliable fitness coach with a knack for shady schemes, spots Manolo as his ticket to rebooting his own life. With the help of Ania, a Dagestani fighter portrayed by Ava Baya, he aims to turn this hulking brute into a MMA champion.
Across this unlikely athletic odyssey, Marave also stages a family fractured by the passage of time, grudges and unspoken truths. The film weaves together comedy, the world of combat, and a tale of fraternal reconciliation, without being limited to a mere trajectory of competition.
Adrien Piquet-Gauthier and Nathanaël Guedj return to the comedy terrain here after Classico, which already streamed on Prime Video. This new collaboration with the platform centers Redouane Bougheraba and Ramzy Bedia in a family duo where sport becomes a means of reconnecting.
Marave could appeal to Prime Video subscribers who follow contemporary French comedies, sport-focused films, or family stories led by well-known comedians. The film isn’t really aimed at viewers seeking a realistic sports drama or a storyline that’s solely about competition.
The official trailer for Marave offers the first glimpse of the film, with training sequences, clashes and simmering family tensions.
