La Rochelle station
– Hi, Jean-Seb. Are you Julien?
– Oh no no, not at all I’m Jessica. I’m an old friend from college, we met on the train.
Jean-Sébastien (Jérôme Commandeur) meeting Julien (Arthur Dupont) in front of the station
Young lover, Julien (Arthur Dupont) asks Éva (Déborah François) to marry him and she accepts. After meeting Julien’s parents, the last step for the future engaged couple is to go to the island of Ré to meet the Periné family.
Coming from Paris, the couple took the train to La Rochelle. The little family is waiting for them in front of the train station to take them to the island by car. Julien meets part of the family with brother Jean-Sébastien (Jérôme Commandeur), sister-in-law Corine (Valérie Karsenti) and their children Palefroi (Raphaël Aouizerate), Jean-Jésus (Samuel Aouizerate) and Prunille (Océane and Margaux Le Caoussin). The couple will also meet Anneke (Alicia Endemann), the au pair.
For Jérôme Commandeur, the director, the island of Ré is part of the film’s characters: “There are stereotypes, sweaters tied around the shoulders, pastel Bermuda shorts, children with fruit names, bicycle traffic jams, 60-year-olds, etc.”
Ma famille t’adore déjà is the first film as a director for Jérôme Commandeur.
