CÉSAR NOMINATION! Best First Film (Lucien Jean-Baptiste)

The popular winner of Best Film at the Montreal Film Festival was this delightful and madcap family comedy about the adventures of a financially struggling French-West Indian family on a chaotic ski trip.

Jean-Gabriel is not exactly a workaholic and a responsible father: he lives off small jobs and spends most of his time hanging at the pub and betting on horse races. One day, to please his daughter, he promises the whole family he'll take them on a ski trip to an expensive resort, just like all the other (white) families do. When his wife threatens to leave him if he disappoints the children again, as he's so often done, Jean-Gabriel has to use all of his imagination to deliver on his promise...

A surprise box office comedy hit with nearly 2 million admissions in France, FIRST SNOW marks the directorial debut by actor Jean-Baptiste. Hit the Alps for this eventful and hilarious sojourn.
