Micmacs
A mine that explodes in the middle of the Moroccan dessert and, years later, a bullet lodged in his brain…Bazil isn’t very lucky with weapons. The first left him an orphan, the second may kill him at any minute.
On leaving the hospital Bazil finds himself homeless. Fortunately, this mild-mannered dreamer, overflowing with ideas, is welcomed in to a veritable Ali Baba’s cavern by a band of colorful rag-and-bone men of diverse and unexpected talents: Remington (Omar Sy), Calculator (Marie-Julie Baup), Buster (Dominique Pinon), Slammer (Jean-Pierre Marielle), Elastic Girl (Julie Ferrier), Tiny Pete (Michel Cremades) and Mama Chow (Yolande Moreau).
One day, while passing by two imposing buildings, Bazil recognizes the initials of the two weapons manufacturers (André Dussollier and Nicolas Marie) who have caused his troubles. Helped by his band of oddballs, he decides to take revenge. Alone against the world, clever little men against cynical big business, the rag and bone men reenact, with an imagination and whimsy worthy of Bibi Fricotin and Buster Keaton, the struggle of David and Goliath…
