Official synopsis

Alain and Marie move into a detached house. A hatch located in the cellar is soon going to change their life.

The programmer’s eye

A real taste for playing mostly gives the impulse to Quentin Dupieux’s cinema; with this film, he starts from a simple idea – which we won’t have the bad taste to reveal to you – to extract the most fantastic possibilities. “Incroyable mais vrai” is funny and above all based on the filmmaker's appetite for taking his cast far from their usual and determined registers. This skill for directing has evolved along a filmography that reached a clownish climax with “Incredible but true” and its re-enlarged figures, inflated with cartoon hormones
