With humorous levity and emotional depth, the story explores how the everyday challenges we face can lead us to the most important lessons about love, connection and the meaning of true friendship. The two main characters, brilliantly portrayed, experience life as a constant learning curve that frustrates them as much as it makes them grow.

The authentic chemistry between the protagonists makes the audience both laugh and empathize. THE APPRENTICES was celebrated at several festivals and received, among others, the César Award, one of the highest honors in French cinema.
