To escape the police, a son and his father take refuge at a summer camp for disabled youth, posing as a resident and his tutor. Artus has always been impressed by the imagination and energy of people with intellectual disabilities and really wanted to show this on screen. He was fascinated by The Eighth Day (1996) and then thought that the door had finally opened, but it seemed to him that it had closed immediately afterwards. During the making of this film, he had to deal with a lot of negativity, with people casually telling him that "we know they exist; there’s no need to show them!", which only increased his motivation. In the coach, Mark asks Alice if he can put on some music. When Mark puts on the music, the clock behind him reads 1:0. On top of that, a few shots later the clock suddenly jumps from 1:05 to 1:08.. Mentioned in Big Week: Episode #1.6 (2024). Love in Portofino Music by Fred Buscaglione Italian lyrics by Leo Chioso French lyrics by Jacques Larrue Performed by Dalida. Un P'ti Truc En Plus (or A Little Something Extra for the English title) is a light French comedy. Most of the actors are disabled or mentally challenged, but they were a pleasure to watch. Kudos to them for making this film fun and easy to watch. There are enough funny scenes to keep you entertained. It shouldn’t be taken too seriously, the message is clear, everyone can learn something from someone else, disabled or not. Some people may not find it funny, but on the other hand comedy is the genre that is the hardest to please everyone, as we all have different senses of humor. My wife and I enjoyed it, as did many others.
