WINNER EUROPEAN COMEDY - European Film Awards 2020

OFFICIAL SELECTION - Cannes Film Festival 2020

"The Big Hit, (Un Triomphe), explores the unusual and unexpected places where talent can grow. The film delivers as it balances the emotions of both freedom and confinement. Based on a true story, the film combines strong storytelling and convincing character driven plots to drive this winning comedy."

"The Big Hit is a feel-good comedy as an unlikely troupe of prison actors, led by an out of work director, become the most in-demand players around the country." - Haut-Lifestyle.com

BASED ON A TRUE STORY:

Etienne, an often out of work but endearing actor, runs a theater workshop in a prison, where he brings together an unlikely troupe of prisoners to stage Samuel Beckett’s famous play Waiting for Godot. When he is allowed to take the colorful band of convicts on a tour outside of prison, Etienne finally has the chance to thrive.

Each date is a new success and a unique relationship grows between this ad hoc group of actors and their director. But soon comes the final performance in Paris.

Will their last night together be the biggest hit of them all?
