You may have already come across Golo and Ritchie on social media. This comedy duo has over 500,000 followers on TikTok and millions of likes. Originally from the Grande Borne district of Grigny, Golo and Ritchie are long-time friends and display an unfailing bond through humorous videos. Suffering from a mild form of autism, Ritchie follows Golo in all his adventures. So much so that directors Ahmed Hamidi and Martin Fougerol wanted to follow them in their daily lives with the ambition of shedding light on disability, particularly in the suburbs. The filmmakers challenged the duo: to travel from Grigny to Marseille in tandem. A real journey!

This feature film is more like a documentary, with a reduced team and budget and an authenticity that make it its greatest richness. During their tandem journey, Golo and Ritchie will live a real and deeply human adventure. If you want to warm your heart, Golo and Ritchie is to be discovered in theaters.
