At just 39, Noah Debre is one of the most talented screenwriters and creators of his generation. He came to the mainstream by co-writing Jacques Audiard’s Dheepan, which won the Palme d’Or at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. That boosted his career and confirmed his talent for powerful and faithful storytelling.
Since then, Noah Debre has excelled in the world of TV series. It’s a parliament-maker, an original and refreshing political comedy that gets a good average score of 4.1 out of 5 on AlloCiné. With this series, he was able to capture the absurdity and exuberance behind the scenes of the European Parliament to educate and entertain the audience.

Award winning French touch
In addition to Parliament, Noé Debré participated in various projects, such as Blanche Garden’s The Best Version of Myself or, in a radically different genre, the Zorro series with Jean Dujardin. He also directed his first feature film last year, The Last of the Jews. This mix of projects showcases his talent and ability to slalom between very different genres and worlds.
Also in the press, his work is appreciated for his sophisticated and intelligent writing, which can combine humor, emotion and universal themes. These qualities are to be found in The Sense of Things, his final creation for Max.
A series between laughter and introspection
Adapted from the book Living with our dead By Delphine Horwiler, The Sense of Things explores themes such as identity, faith, and human relationships. This drama follows Leah, a 28-year-old young woman who aspires to become a rabbi. Between an atheist father, a chaotic love life and existential questions, Leah must find a balance between her spiritual mission and her own doubts.

Elsa Guedy as Lea
With a solid cast that includes Elsa Guede (revealed in Funny), Eric Elmosnino and Manu Payet, the series focuses on characters that are a priori complex and engaging. Humor promises to be everywhere, reflecting Noah Debre’s characteristic writing.
