Les secrets de l'invisible

In a Paris that looks tired from a long downturn, Jojo and Eugène stumble through a string of romantic misfires. Both are undercover agents who are supposed to follow clues about a string of unrelated failures, but their case keeps mutating as they chase a seemingly simple thread. The two agents slip from one odd clue to another, chasing a connection behind personal fiascos that look unrelated at first. The city becomes a maze of mistaken identities, sly jokes, and oddball encounters, mixing light satire with deadpan humor. As their investigation drags on, the lines between the case they break and the lives they lead blur in comic fashion.

Directed by Antonin Peretjatko and released in 2011, this French comedy signals his early offbeat sensibility. It stems from an original screenplay and spotlights his preference for oddball set ups and deadpan humor.

Reception is modest, but its core themes linger. It toys with deception and desire under economic strain, showing how miscommunications and half truths ripple through ordinary lives. The storytelling blends brisk dialogue with visual gags to critique modern urban life, while keeping a buoyant tone. The Parisian setting acts almost as a sly foil, turning everyday encounters into miniature capers that question trust, luck, and the randomness of fate. Its tone sits between playful mischief and sly social critique.
