He learns of the death of his father, with whom he has been at odds for years, and discovers that he has inherited a huge piece of land in Corsica.
His partner Cécile (Anne Conciny) sees it as an opportunity to build a vacation home and escape the hustle and bustle of Parisian life. A classic starting point that promises a luxurious summer for two on Beauty Island. Things get complicated for the feature film when Roman offers his colleague and friend Victor (Laurent Gamelon) to summon the architect Müller.
Played by Karl Lagerfeld with a particularly strong German accent, this vulgar player Simon Abkaryan is undoubtedly one of the most delightfully embarrassing elements in Building Permit. A few minutes later, Philip Corte’s debut as a Portuguese construction worker in T-shirts capable of making one feel nostalgic for the “Vodka Connecting People” era follows the theatrical works of the excellent actor of Kabul Kitchen. Before that, to announce the arrival of the two continents to Corsica, the postcard footage with a drone against a background of traditional music had just finished stirring up trouble in the minds of onlookers.
Treat the characters with kindness
After such a complex exhibition, Eric Fraccili finally seemed capable He enjoys photographing his characters while immersing himself in the MaknaThe art of making typical Corsican jokes. By responding to these traits of humor, he makes use of the utterly wary reactions of Didier Bourdon, who excels at the art of thwarting annoyance by whispering murderous comments that he has a secret.

The outcome of this story does not matter much because the viewer knows it from the beginning. And the few scenes that work just aren’t enough to put them in the background. As for real estate masks, they are far from the level of who they areHut to break everything, do not care about any symmetry, like the house that rotates according to the rotation of the sun that Muller ridiculously thinks. Harmless ideas in the serviceComedy is pretty much dispensable He is just as much.
