Tirard is the well-known French helmer of “Little Nicholas” and “Astérix and Obélix: God Save Britannia.” The film is adapted from Fabcaro’s novel “Le discours,” and tells the story of Adrien, who is going through an existential crisis and is about to get dumped by his girlfriend. During a family dinner, Adrien is asked to prepare a speech for the wedding ceremony of his sister and brother in-law.
