Ahmed Sylla stands out as "twin but not too much" of Bertrand Usclat

• Two thirtysomethings, one black and the other white, discover that they are twins.

• Ahmed Sylla and Bertrand Usclat deliver complementary performances in the role of these brothers separated at birth.

• This tender comedy is based on rare but possible facts.

We could confuse them.

Or almost.

Ahmed Sylla and Bertrand Usclat share the poster for

, a comedy by Olivier Ducray and Wilfred Meance.

They embody two brothers separated at birth who find themselves 33 years later.

“I would point out that the fact that a black twin and a white twin can be born at the same time is very rare but possible,” Ahmed Sylla told

.

The comedian of

and the creator of the series

are happily complementary in brothers going from hostility to complicity as they try to find their biological parents to be explained how they were adopted.

"Our characters have prejudices about each other, but are united by the same quest: to know where they come from", insists Ahmed Sylla.

Accomplices as it should be

He plays a guy in debt who gets hired as a driver for his stuck politician brother, in the middle of the election campaign.

Their relationship quickly becomes explosive while Gérard Jugnot, Pauline Clément, Isabelle Gélinas and Nicolas Marié compete in fantasy to give them the answer.

“We avoid all the caricatures of black against white and that's what made me hooked on the script, specifies Ahmed Sylla.

On a puzzling pitch, the screenwriters swept away the clichés to talk about fraternity and adoption.

The first part of the film is centered on the gags but the second takes on a more tender tone around the duo who will have a huge surprise when they discover the secret of their origins.

"We didn't know each other before the film," says Ahmed Sylla.

Bertrand and I wanted to carry each other without trying to pull the blanket.

This generosity is perceptible in

, which takes the public off guard with its sincerity.

“I like to be surprised and touched when I read a script,” explains Ahmed Sylla.
