In a bar on the outskirts of Paris, in the early hours of the morning, a customer wins 294 million euros in the lottery. But the win turns into chaos when another customer reacts violently, leaving the ticket without an owner. Locked in the bar, the regulars see the opportunity to become millionaires, devising ever more daring plans. As greed takes over, the situation degenerates into a bloody spiral. Le Roi Soleil, by Vincent Maël Cardona, is a psychological thriller set in a closed space, starring Pio Marmaï and a special appearance by Maria de Medeiros, full of tension, suspense and unpredictable twists and turns.
Session as part of the French Film Festival 2025.
"Organised by the Il Sorpasso Association, the French Film Festival is a platform for meeting and sharing between France, Portugal and the French-speaking world, celebrating the artistic excellence, innovation and cultural richness that make French cinema an essential reference.
The event is organised in partnership with the French Embassy in Portugal, the Institut Français du Portugal and the Alliances Françaises network in Portugal. The festival is also part of MaisFRANÇA, the programme of contemporary French creation in Portugal."
