Rumba la vie

Not long ago it was Dany BOON who was driving through the streets of Paris IM TAXI MIT MADELEINE / IN A TAXI WITH MADELEINE, and now Franck DUBOSC is a school bus driver in the area around Cergy-Pontoise, northwest of Paris. After a heart attack, the single man in his mid-fifties remembers his daughter (very sweet: Louna ESPINOSA), whom he once abandoned as a baby. In order to get closer to her again, he attends her dance class in Paris and learns Latin American dances...

Feel-good cinema from France with grumpy but lovable characters! Wonderfully cast right down to the supporting roles! Successful author and "eternal" Nobel Prize candidate Michel HOUELLEBECQ is great as a doctor who recommends a lot of exercise and regular mattress sports to his patients. A prime role for the provocateur who is not above any excess in real life.

The film, which is worth seeing, sold 283,999 tickets in French cinemas (as of early June 2023). Rumba, Tango, Cha Cha Cha - a guarantee of success not only at the EUROVISION Song CONTEST. What KÄÄRIJÄ from Finland can do, the French can do even better!
