Cinema: the rebel grandpas of the “Old Furnaces” back in a second opus

A joyous team of zany grandpas, long-time friends, meet in the countryside. But with them, the calm never lasts very long. This band of friends comes from a comic strip. Since 2014, six volumes have been released in bookstores. In 2020, comics were even in the top 10 best-selling albums in France. In this new film, Pierre Richard, alias Pierrot, helps migrants threatened with deportation.

A touching comedy to reach consciences. “We are in a time of incredible intolerance that it is [ce] film which, on the contrary, preaches attention to others, tolerance, open-mindedness, which is not necessarily the most widespread at the moment“, says actor Pierre Richard. Un clash of cultures but also a clash of generations since Sophie, a young mother played by Alice Pol, has to deal with the three septuagenarian friends. A social adventure and rock n’roll, which reminds us that there is no age to take life on the bright side.
