THE NEW JEAN-CLAUDE

Synopsis  /  Jean-Claude has a girlfriend … Unfortunately she just left him. She can’t stand his lifestyle, in between instability and immobility. At night he delivers pizzas and during the day he mimes a sidewalk statue.
Thank god, Jean-Claude has great friends. They will (more or less) help him overcome these hard times. Bob, his fellow deliveryman tries to help him out with all his clumsy generosity. From his workout room, Luis tries to pump him up and make him profit his experience of love. And Jeff, once a comic and now a taxi driver, decides in his crazy way to restore his self-confidence.
Finally Jean-Claude meets Marianna, a fascinating young woman who breaks everything that comes her way… but she seems unreachable… He hacks this mysterious woman who only leaves a trail of chaos and wreckage (windscreens, computers…) up to a white boat heading for the islands, his talent as a statue-man turning out to be extremely useful… A light comedy on friendship, love and pizzas with volcanic names…
