By Mulder, 17 january 2023

Prime Video has unveiled the trailer for BDE, Michaël Youn's new film, which will be released in France on February 24.

BDE is a transgenerational and electric comedy, in which four friends - played by Michaël Youn, Helena Noguerra, Lucien Jean-Baptiste and Vincent Desagnat - find themselves, in spite of themselves, enrolled in a "no limits" weekend in the Alps.  This Spring Break in the mountains will also feature actors Rayane Bensetti, Ludovik, Manon Azem, Virginie Hocq, Gilbert Melki, Tomer Sisley, Michèle Laroque, Judith El Zein, Pierre Lottin, Cartman, Jimmy Labeeu, Benjamin Morgaine and even rugby player Sébastien Chabal.

The film follows Bob, Max, Vinz and Romane, four friends who met in business school in 2001. At the time, they were running the Student Union and dreamed of changing the world. But, 20 years later, they haven't changed anything and life has even separated them a bit... Fortunately, whatever happens, they meet every year for a regressive weekend of celebration, the "BDE" weekend. This year, they're off to Val Thorens to ski in the magnificent chalet that Bob stole from his father-in-law without telling him. But, ironically, in the resort, they run into 150 enraged students from their former school during spring break. Between a duel of generations and a fountain of youth, old and new students will go on a night of apocalyptic madness and put the resort on fire. 

The script is co-written by Matt Alexander and Michaël Youn, based on an original idea by Dominique Gauriaud, Jurij Prette and Michaël Youn. The film is produced by Marvelous BV (Vivien Aslanian, Romain Le Grand, Marco Pacchioni and co-produced by Benjamin Drouin), Zoe & Co (Sandra Rudich), and Beside Productions (Fabrice Delville and co-produced by Gladys Brookfield).

BDE will add to the thousands of series and movies available in the Prime Video catalog, such as the critically acclaimed series The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power, The Terminal List, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, Star Trek: Picard, Carnival Row, American Gods, The Boys and The Fabulous Mrs. Maisel, as well as French Originals such as Orelsan: Montre Jamais ça à Personne (Show No One This), Hawa, Overdose, Miskina, la Pauvre, LOL: Qui Rit, Sort! , Mixte, Le Bal des Folles, Celebrity Hunted: Chasse à l'Homme, or exclusive programs like Cœurs Noirs, Clara Luciani: Ca commence comme ça, Darknet-sur-Mer, Forte, Je te Veux Moi Non Plus, and many others-all available on Prime Video at no extra cost to Amazon Prime members.

Synopsis: 
BDE tells the story of four lifelong friends who met in the 2000s when they were the presidents of the BDE at Nantes Institute of Business. At the time, they were the "Bioman": the kings of partying, excess and "transmutation". 20 years later, they have mellowed out and lead well-ordered lives. Except... Once a year, when they get together for the WEB: the Bioman Weekend. There, they "transmute" hard as they like to say. In short: they drink and sing in a pathetic way. This year, direction "la Folie Douce" in Val Thorens for a crazy weekend. A little ashamed to assume this regressive parenthesis, the "Bioman" lie to their respective entourage. And, it is by pretext of an estate sale in the magnificent chalet of Bob's father-in-law, that our friends arrive in Val Thorens. But on the spot, it's a cold shower: the "Bioman" find themselves in the middle of the Spring Break of 150 enraged students from their former school! Between a fountain of youth and an ego contest, our friends quickly get caught up in the student life game and are drawn into a party that will change their lives forever. Together, forty-somethings and millenials will turn the father-in-law's chalet into a pile of ashes and set the ski resort on fire!
