Poster for the movie The American Dream

A comedy inspired by a true story about two men from humble backgrounds who find their way into the NBA without money, contacts, or good English skills.

by Anthony Marciano

France/CA 2026, 122 min
with Gregory Defleur, Jean-Pascal Zadi, Raphaël Quenard

No one would have bet on Jérémy, stuck behind the counter of a video store, or on Bouna, cleaning airports. Without money, without contacts, and with terrible English skills – who would have thought they'd one day be among the biggest player agents in the NBA? What they lack in experience, they make up for in audacity. They always remain true to their one credo: to do business with humanity. Searching for raw talent and with a great deal of improvisation, they work their way up. They play their roles until they've mastered them – and pursue their American dream, which ultimately leads them to multi-million dollar deals.
