The trailer doesn’t do justice to the humour and surprises in store in A Difficult Year. Cohen and Marmaï are a perfect comedic pairing to pull off an unlikely caper about activism and mass consumerism.

...en til tider farceagtig komedie om klimakrise, kviklån, forbrugerisme, ludomani og sexkrænkelser af begge køn.
