In this darkly funny comedy, three likeable losers embark on a wild goose chase in search of their father.
In this darkly funny comedy, three likeable losers embark on a wild goose chase in search of their father.
A failed tennis pro, a neurotic CEO and a sister who isn't a sister go to the funeral of a father who isn't dead at all. Welcome to FOOL CIRCLE.
Bruno, who can't talk to women, is the head of a dating platform, and his brother Leon, a failed professional athlete on the verge of divorce, head to the funeral of their estranged father.
On the scene, however, instead of the funeral service, they find only a woman named Chloé, who claims to be their stepsister.
"Around this plot, simple at first glance, director Vincent Mariette has built a subtle black comedy that offers a profoundly humanistic view of characters on the margins of society while creating a cinematic universe full of winks and references." (Revue Sequences)
