Brice de Nice (2005)
Directed by James Huth

Comedy
aka: The Brice Man

Film Synopsis

At thirty, Brice still has yet to make the transition from adolescence to adulthood, not that he is any hurry.  He is quite happy sponging off his wealthy father and enjoying the carefree life of a teenager.  His latest obsession is surfing, which is slightly problematic since he lives on a region of the coast whose defining characteristic is a complete lack of anything resembling a surf.  Undeterred, Brice cherishes his surfboard and hosts riotous beach parties, living the surf life without the surf.  When his father is arrested for money laundering, Brice's world suddenly falls apart.  Being unfit for work of any kind, the only way he can now sustain his lifestyle is to rob a bank...
