Unable to go to Greece as usual for their only annual week of family vacation, the Rousselots arrive in Corsica. After a road accident on the Isle of Beauty, neighbors come to disrupt the start of their vacation… Family and island score-settling, and misunderstandings ahead…
An adventure born from a theatrical project
“We should have gone to Greece” was not born in a film studio, but from an idea for a play imagined by Pierre-François Mosconi and Michel Ferracci. This duo, already known for their collaborations, decided to transform this play into a film thanks to their shared passion and a good dose of stubbornness.
After challenges such as finding financing and interruptions linked to Covid, the project finally saw the light of day thanks to the tenacity of the team, in particular Nicolas Benhamou, the director, and Gérard Jugnot, a key player in the project.
Corsica as a backdrop
The film features the Rousselot family, continentals on vacation in Corsica, confronted with unforeseen and incredible situations. If Corsica is often used in comedies for its spectacular landscapes, here it becomes a character in its own right. Local issues, such as real estate speculation, are addressed with humor and sensitivity.
