This is what we can call a “couillue” series. A sales representative in a suburban SME whose couple is crumbling, suddenly sees his life transformed when he goes to the bathroom. Suddenly, he discovers that he is laying gold. Specialists buy each turd for at least 30,000 euros.
This is the far-fetched and daring pitch of this series signed Baptiste Lorber and produced by Calt, already producers of Cafe Camera and Kaamelott. Gold from him, available free of charge on the France Television platform.
It is Ramzy Bedia who perfectly embodies the hero of the story. He tells : “He’s a poor guy, he stopped chasing his ambitions, I think he wanted to have everyone’s life: a dog, a pavilion, a garden, a woman, and he thought it was that was happiness. And he realizes that it isn’t at all; he missed the opportunity to have personal ambitions, he never really thought of himself. “
“My reaction: there were several, says Ramzy Bedia. First: why do they think of me for this role? the second is: wow, this project is going to be very heavy. “
“Right away, in the first episode, I see in fact that it is not at all heavy, and that it is very interesting, that it is even a small feat to manage to talk about a guy who shits gold so elegantly. Well, that’s great, what. I was charmed. ”

And the difficulty of showing spectators that man really lays gold. Ramzy Bedia explains: “I do it once per episode. Yes, we took our heads over it, to be as less scatological and vulgar as possible, but we had to go through it, at one point, the character is going to poop, and he lays gold. So we don’t make a tight plan on what you think, but still, you have to go through it, to underline the absurdity of the thing. “
Gold from him, a series that has nothing scatological about it. A funny and absurd comedy about the life of a couple. 10 episodes of 26 minutes to watch for free on the france.tv platform.
