Details

In the buddy comedy film All Is Bright (2013), two French Canadian troublemakers, Rene and Dennis, embark on a journey to New York City with a plan to make easy money by selling Christmas trees. Rene is the laid-back and charismatic one, while Dennis is a bitter ex-convict whose wife recently left him for Rene. Despite their differences, the two men are forced to work together to make their scheme succeed.

Set against the backdrop of the holiday season, this odd couple navigates the chaotic streets of New York City, encountering various challenges and humorous situations along the way.
