Lambert Wilson and Grégory Gadebois tackle the frenzy of our times in ‘Simple Things’

Vincent, a famous entrepreneur who succeeds in everything, breaks down on a mountain road. Receding into this sublime nature, Pierre offers him hospitality. A meeting between two completely opposite men who will upset their respective certainties – are they each really living the life they have? envy to live?

One of the central themes of the film which is addressed is that of frenzy of our time. “Why do we put up with everything we end up putting up with?“, asks as a question Grégory Gadeboisbefore explaining: “[…] If we did like children, when we are told ‘you have to do this’. And we said ‘yes but why?’ has force of repetition, adults would end up saying ‘because that’s how it is’, says the actor. Adding that sometimes we do things because we believe they make us happy, but it’s through mimicry. “It’s hard to know how we are happy or not. How we want to be happy. That’s a real question.”he finally specifies.
