Or de lui

, available in full this Friday on France.tv, Ramzy Bedia plays Joseph, sales representative of a small provincial SME who is bored firmly in his suburban housing estate and whose marriage to Marie (Olivia Côte) is in decline. 'wing. While he realizes that his wife is cheating on him with one of the couple's friends (Christophe Héraut), he discovers a superpower as incredible as it is astounding. He is able to lay gold. Literally. An unclassifiable and zany dramedy by Baptiste Lorber, selected in French competition during the last edition of Séries Mania.

This series in 10 episodes of 26 minutes, produced by Calt Story for France Télévisions, was “basically a short film,” says Baptiste Lorber.

When I proposed this project to Hervé Bellec, the producer, he told me: "no, it's a series".

"We enter the life of a couple in crisis with a

particular

high concept

", rejoices the producer.

The idea for this modern, scatological variation of

The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs

or the legendary King Midas is “just one idea among many.

At the time, I wrote a lot of sketches, ”recalls Baptiste Lorber, author for the Bagel studio.

"A guy who shits gold, that never happens"

From his wife's disenchantment through his boss to his drafting problems, Joseph seems to suffer his life more than to live it, until that famous day when he will lay, not an egg, but a golden turd. , then another, then another, heavier and bigger with each passage to the conveniences.

Ramzy Bedia did not hesitate a second before engaging in this farce, just like the rest of the cast (Olivia Côte, Marc Riso, Christophe Heraut, Linh-Dan Pham and Jérôme Niel).

“We never get projects like this one!” Exclaims Ramzy Bedia.

A guy who shits gold never happens.

»And to explain:« At the beginning, I read the project out of enormous curiosity, being sure that it did not smell good.

Very quickly, I understood the tone of the thing, and I told myself that this is a series that I will not let go.

"

"A love story over ten episodes"

Beyond the farce,

Or de lui

examines with realism the disintegration of a couple.

“The treatment of this subject is crazy.

In fact, it's not the story of a guy who shits gold, it's a love story over ten episodes and that's what touched me, ”explains Ramzy Bedia.

"It is a kind of fable à la Marcel Aymé, enthusiastically the producer Hervé Bellec.

We are in a naturalistic environment with a fantastic element that counterbalances the life of a character, and all his family, emotional, and professional environment.

With this gift, you imagine the characters who are angry with his person and his seat.

"

With the help of a geek colleague (Marc Riso), obsessed with superheroes, Joseph will apprehend his strange power.

In the background, the series thus poses the age-old question of "Does money buy happiness?"

".

A cheeky nugget!
