Fabrice Eboué returns with a new comedy. Announced as a fake documentary, Gerald the Conqueror follows a Norman who dreams of building an amusement park to the glory of William the Conqueror.
Three years later Barbaquea black comedy about a couple of butchers who kill vegan activists to make hams, Fabrice Eboué parodies the famous Vendée park of Puy du Fou. The poster for this new film, in theaters on April 30, 2025, has just been revealed.
According to the official synopsis, Fabrice Eboué plays “a nostalgic fanatic from the kingdom of Normandy”. While he wishes to restore the region to its former power, he embarks on the construction of a historical park to the glory of William the Conqueror.
“Very attached to Normandy”
Filming took place in the spring in Calvados and more precisely in the Pays d’Auge. A region that Fabrice Eboué knows since he spent his childhood there. Sequences were also filmed in Bayeux and Caen.
“He is very attached to Normandy, his mother is Norman […] so he really wanted to make a film that talks about Normandy and all its riches,” declared his production director Maxime Mund at the microphone of France Blue.
