G-Day

Set in June 1944, this war comedy follows Denis Porte, a man tasked with managing a fake British military base. His job involves moving decoy soldiers to mislead the enemy, a low-risk assignment his mother insists upon to avoid the family tradition of dying as heroes for France. However, after meeting Sami, an Algerian doctor who hopes to meet Charles de Gaulle, the two men impulsively decide to join the actual war effort during a night of drinking. Their attempt to participate in the Normandy landings is complicated by their lack of accurate information regarding the location and date, as well as Porte's reluctance to face real danger.

The film was directed by Claude Zidi Jr., who also co-wrote the screenplay with Stanislas Graziani. This production is the third film in the director's chronological series of works, following Tenor and Oldies But Goodies, and preceding La Maison de nos rêves.
