Synopsis

25 year-old Hippo doesn’t have a job, doesn’t study either but lives from the money his younger brother earns with dealing and from occasional Poker winnings — he’s a representative of a disillusioned generation, doesn’t care what other people think of him. But of all people he falls in love with the ambitioned student Nathalie and soon finds himself forced to think about taking a job. —IMDB

Born in 1961, Eric Rochant interest in cinema began when he got a present of a 8mm camera when he was a child. Rochant made three short films when he studied film in IDHEC for three years, and Presence Feminine(1986) which is one of the three, won the Cezar Award. His first feature A World without Pity (1989) brought him a Best New Director Award from Cesar. His films include The Patriots(1993) and Vive la république(1997). —PUSAN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
