Ever dreamt of winning the lotto? Think again.
When four people find their dreams come true, life finally feels perfect. But what if their luck is just about to run out? With dreams turning into nightmares and fortunes becoming burdens, this off-kilter comedy follows four interweaving stories in the wake of a life-changing windfall. Marriages are tested, friendships sour, and buried secrets are revealed, forcing the winners to question whether life really is better after the jackpot.
From the award-winning duo who wrote The Shiny Shrimp, LUCKY WINNERS is the whip-smart black comedy from Maxime Govary and Romain Choay that pushes boundaries, and characters, to their limits. With its cast of French favourites including Audrey Lamy (The Kitchen Brigade, AF FFF22), Anouk Grinberg (Bonnard, Pierre & Marthe, AF FFF24), and Pauline Clément (Maria into Life, AF FFF23), this is one of the season's most surprising and hilarious films. The stories may be bite-sized, but these lucky winners are about to find they've bitten off more than they can chew. It will be sure to leave you questioning whether it's ever truly wise to look a gift horse in the mouth.
Don't miss this deliciously subversive film. Get your tickets to this gripping black comedy now!
