Claude Zidi Jr. and Kev Adams are no strangers to working together. After their previous projects, including Maison de retraite 2 (2024) and Le Jour J (2025), they are reuniting for a new feature film: La Maison de nos rêves. In this film, Kev Adams and Camille Aguilar play a young couple who believe they've discovered the ideal solution to becoming homeowners: purchasing a life estate in a beautiful house from a dying woman, played by Chantal Ladesou. What begins as a dream turns into a nightmare when the property owner unexpectedly regains her strength and turns their plans upside down.
Kev Adams has built a successful career in stand-up comedy and gained public recognition starting in 2011 through his role as Adam in the television series Soda, which aired on M6. Known for his comedic roles, Adams has also appeared in more serious films, such as Un sac de billes (2017), directed by Christian Duguay. In this film, Adams portrays Ferdinand, one of two young Jewish brothers sent by their parents to a free zone in France during World War II. The film is an adaptation of Joseph Joffo's novel, following a 1975 version directed by Jacques Doillon. The story highlights the brothers' ingenuity, courage, and determination as they attempt to escape the occupiers and reunite their family.
Un Sac de Billes has received widespread acclaim, with over 5,300 ratings and nearly 390 reviews on AlloCiné, where it holds an average score of 4.1 out of 5. Audiences praised the film for its emotional depth and strong performances. One viewer, Im A Rocket Man, wrote, "This Sac de billes version 2017 is a real little jewel!! I was actually a bit skeptical when I sat down, because I feared another somewhat silly and naive film about the war, but I was wrong!! This film is moving, very fresh and especially the actors are enormous!! The two little boys are astounding and rarely have I seen a Patrick Bruel so inspired!!" Another reviewer, Chucky, called it "a great film, a masterpiece" and praised the young actors for their accuracy in portraying the tragic true story.
Audiences also highlighted the film's direction and its powerful depiction of historical events. One review from Le Batcinéma noted, "Stressing, gripping from start to finish and very moving, especially when one knows that the film is adapted from a true story. All the characters are endearing and the actors who play them perform with admirable accuracy." The film has resonated with viewers for its emotional impact and its ability to convey the horrors of occupied France during World War II, reminding audiences of the challenges faced by those living through that period.
