After starting out as a comedian with his accomplice Olivier Barrou, Cad Merad was introduced to the seventh art. He became known to the general public thanks to his role as an authoritarian but benevolent pawn in Christophe Baratier’s Les Choristes. In a few years, Kad Meradi has become one of the unmistakable values of French cinema, carrying the image of a good friend with contagious good humor.

Even when he changes his registration in the drama, I’m fine, don’t worry, the bet is won, Cesar for Best Supporting Actor. Finally, in 2008, his acting career was completely turned upside down by the huge success of Bienvenue chez les Ch’tis, which broke records by posting more than 20 million admissions.
Building on this success and experience, Kad Merad tried his hand at directing in 2011 with a comedy called Monsieur Papa, in which he also played the lead role. Always with that double hat, he continues But Who Killed Pamela Rose?. In 2016, Cade Meradi once again goes in front of and behind the camera on a project that is particularly close to him: a declaration of love for the city of Marseille, which he discovered thanks to friends and where he especially bought a house.
In his third feature film as a director, Kad Meradi thus signs a good-humored comedy written with Patrick Bosso and Judith El Zane, which pays homage to his hometown and southern epicureanism through the story of Paolo, which he attributes to his on-screen features.
At the insistence of his brother Joseph, he decides to leave for a few days the quiet and harmonious life in Canada to return to Marseilles by the bedside of his injured father. Determined not to stop there, Paolo cannot imagine that the love of his rediscovered family, his romantic encounter with a young woman, and the joyful and simple solidarity of the Marseilles will reconcile him with the city he never wanted to leave…
Marseille by Kad Merad with Kad Merad, Patrick Bosso, Venantino Venantini…
