What happens

It's Easier for a Camel... (French: Il est plus facile pour un chameau...) is a 2003 French comedy film written, directed by and starring Valeria Bruni Tedeschi. It was entered into the 25th Moscow International Film Festival and was screened in competition at the 1st World Film Festival of Bangkok. It won the Louis Delluc Prize for Best First Film in 2003. Tedeschi won prizes for Emerging Narrative Filmmaker and Best Actress at the 2003 Tribeca Film Festival. Film historian Tim Palmer described the film an engaging example of contemporary French pop-art cinema, referring to directors who wittily merge the features of intellectual/arthouse cinema with mass/popular cinema, and put director Tedeschi in the company of filmmakers such as François Ozon, Maîwenn le Besco, Sophie Fillières and Serge Bozon.
