Luxembourg is a small country in the heart of Europe. It’s a multi-cultural society, foreigners representing almost 40% of its population. It’s famous for its forward-thinking social policies and - especially - for its financial services. It used to be known for its steel industry - and it still boasts one of the most important media groups in the world. But it’s certainly not known either for soccer or unemployment. So this is “Revanche’s” recipe: take Luxembourg’s unemployed. Put them in business suits. Encourage them to create an international football club which begins to win all its matches. Into this strange mix, throw in a bunch of international criminals, and a bevy of glamorous Eastern European dream creatures all looking for husbands, fame and fortune. The result is a delicious humanist fable, a comedy in which love conquers money. The film takes place in the Great Region (Saar-Lor-Lux), where four countries interact closely (Luxembourg, Germany, France and Belgium); and where at least eight languages come into play (French, Luxembourgish, German, English, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, and Albanian). |
