What happens

Almost Legal (French: Presque Légal) is a 2024 French teen comedy film written and directed by Max Mauroux in his feature directorial debut. The film, which features young actors with a few prior credits in the lead roles and big names such as Marie-Anne Chazel, François Levantal, Olivier Marchal and Jérôme Niel in supporting roles, concerns a couple of slackers in the Arcachon Bay who decide to break in to a small grocery store at night and operate it as a night-time business, selling alcohol to vacationers during the summer. It was released theatrically in France and Belgium on 17 July 2024 after premiering at the L'Alpe d'Huez Film Festival earlier in the year. It was poorly received by critics and has grossed about €258,000 thus far. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
