The comedy “He already has your eyes” is broadcast this Sunday evening on France 2. The opportunity to recall that the film by Lucien Jean-Baptiste benefited from a sequel three years after its theatrical release, in the form.. . of a mini-series!
The comedy He already has your eyes, broadcast this Sunday evening on France 2, tells the story of a black couple whose adoption file is approved and who welcomes a six-month-old white boy. A great public success with nearly 1.5 million spectators, Lucien Jean-Baptiste’s film was given a sequel three years after its theatrical release.
The sequel in question did not take the form of a feature film but of a mini-series, broadcast on France 2 from February 12, 2020, and which you can find today on the Salto platform. Also titled He already has your eyes, the program, which won the Coup de Coeur Prize at the Festival des Créations Télévisuelles de Luchon, sees Lucien Jean-Baptiste and Aïssa Maïga reprise their roles.
In this six-episode mini-series that will soon be entitled to a British remake, several years have passed since Paul and Sali adopted Benjamin. He is now a 14-year-old boy, who also has a 13-year-old little brother, Noé, born naturally. Suffice to say that the Aloka do not go unnoticed…
