Synopsis
No one would have bet on Jérémy, stuck behind the counter of a video store, or on Bouna, who cleans airports. With no money, no connections, and painfully poor English, who could have predicted they’d one day become big-name agents in the NBA? What they lack in experience, they will make up for in audacity, while remaining true to their one credo, doing business with a human touch. Scouting raw talent while improvising their way up, they’ll fake it until they make it – chasing their American Dream and landing multi-million-dollar deals.

Le rêve américain est bien plus qu’une comédie. Porté par un duo Quenard-Zadi aussi complice que sincère, le film raconte avec justesse une histoire vraie, à la fois touchante et inspirante. Un succès qui s’impose déjà comme l’un des plus grands du cinéma français cette année.
