One May 2023, Le Courrier Vendéen took you behind the scenes of a film starring Eye Haïdara and Pio Marmaï. The team ofAt full speed had placed his cameras on the stake of Saint-Jean-de-Monts to shoot a few scenes there.

A year and a few months later, the film, which also includes José Garcia, Victor Pontecorvo and Frédéric Maranber, to name a few, was released in cinemas on November 6.

The icing on the cake: a session will be organized at Ciné-Monts in Saint-Jean-de-Monts on Sunday, November 24 at 2:30 p.m.in the presence of its director, Lucas Bernard, who will interact with the public.

A romantic comedy

The story: Marianne (Eye Haïdara), tactical submarine officer, meets Marco (Pio Marmaï), steward. The start of a beautiful story? Unfortunately not because Marianne must quickly leave on a mission. But Marco doesn't see it that way and is ready to do anything to follow her. On board a military vessel, what would there be to fear?

Scenes from this romantic comedy, written and directed by Lucas Bernard, were tours to La Barre-de-Monts, in a hotel transformed into a Polynesian bar, and therefore in Saint-Jean-de-Monts, at the very end of the boom, where a decor reconstituting a nuclear submarine bathtub was installed.

The sky and the sea as a backdrop

But don't try to recognize the silhouette of this well-known Mons site, because it does not appear on the screen. Because as Pascal Bonnet, production director, explained at the time, “we shoot at the end of the boom because this allows us to place our actors in the submarine setting, and to move the camera around them always having the sky and the sea in the background. »

This scene later had to be edited with shots, filmed earlier on the tarmac of the Toulon naval base, where the character Marco is airlifted to be evacuated from the submarine by a helicopter.

During filming, the director expressed his satisfaction at coming to film for the first time in the Pays de Saint-Jean-de-Monts.

During the screening November 24 at Ciné-MontsLucas Bernard will present the film, ewill answer questions from the public. Additionally, behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot will be on display in the lobby.
