Deviens génial

Antoine, a forty-year-old father, finds an old self-help book from the 80s in his basement. Convinced it's his last chance, he starts following its absurd advice: complimenting the mirror, wearing a tie in the shower, and visualizing himself as a magnet for luck. His family is horrified, his colleagues are confused, and he gradually turns his life into a comedy of errors where every attempt to become "awesome" backfires spectacularly. This 2026 French comedy examines the coaching trend through a lens of absurdity, making us laugh at the pursuit of dubious success ideals. The film walks the line between farce and a touching story about self-acceptance, suggesting that real change starts not with manuals, but with an honest look in the mirror—without pre-rehearsed compliments.
