What happens

His Majesty Minor (French: Sa majesté Minor) is a feature film by French director Jean-Jacques Annaud. It is his third film shot entirely in his native language of French since his 1976 Oscar-winning debut Black and White in Color and his 1979 film Coup de tête featuring Patrick Dewaere. It is a mythical comedy taking place on an island in the Aegean Sea before the founding of Ancient Greece. It was filmed in 2006 in Benitatxell and Benigembla, basically in the district of the Marina Alta, which is located in the Valencian Community. The film was produced by French companies StudioCanal and Pathé in partnership with Malvarrosa Media and Mediapro in Spain. Despite its originality, the film was poorly received, both by critics and the audience. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
