“We are always told that after Paris, there is nothing, it’s bullshit!” smiles Lucien Jean-Baptiste, who has been living in Talmont-Saint-Hilaire for two and a half years. During the lockdown, and by chance, the actor, voice actor and director found himself in Vendée… To never leave her again!

A film shot in Vendée

In addition to never leaving Vendée, and putting on a show on social networks, he has even decided to put it forward. Four years agohe chose to shoot a film in Vendée.

“I had asked the Institut Sports Océan to film in Les Sables-d’Olonne but the dates didn’t suit… So I fell back on La Tranche-sur-Mer. But we can still see the region!”

Stars who cancel after giving their agreement, financing, filming… The completion of this project was not a long, quiet river for the Martinican.

But he is relieved to offer the preview, at the Grand Palace cinema in Sables-d’Olonne, Friday September 20. The national release is scheduled for October 2, 2024.

“I’m a little anxious but I know that it’s a film that will appeal to the population of Les Sables-d’Olonne because there are a lot of seniors. On the poster, there is the subtitle “at 60, everything is permitted”, there is a large part of the population of Les Sables-d’Olonne who will feel concerned. What should we do when we approach retirement?”

Two great actors in the cast

“What do we do now?”, tells the story of Alain (Lucien Jean-Baptiste), laid off at the age of 58 and struggling to find a new job… He then decided to start a nursery business.

In this adventure, he embarks Jean-Pierre Savarin (Gérard Darmon)a former cheesy TV presenter who is no longer popular. His former colleague Véronique (Isabelle Nanty)who has been depressed for several years, is in charge of the management side of the business. “The idea, It’s about knowing what you do and what you become when you’re sidelined. The final message is very, very beautiful!” promises Lucien Jean-Baptiste.

Preview on Friday, September 20 at 8:30 p.m. in room 3 (full) and in room 2 at 8 p.m. Reservations on the Grand Palace website.
