France tv distribution is delighted to announce the launching of the international distribution of THE EXPERT, THE ROOKIE AND THE MOLE (original title: LE TECKEL), a film by Mathieu Sapin, starring Franck Dubosc, Daphné Patakia, Chiara Mastroianni, Zabou Breitman et Philippe Katerine.

Distributed worldwide by France tv distribution, THE EXPERT, THE ROOKIE AND THE MOLE was launched at the Unifrance Rendez-Vous, which took place from January 13 to 20, 2026 in Paris.

This film is produced by Nolita and will be distributed in French cinemas by Le Pacte.

Synopsis

Guy Farkas, alias «Le Teckel,» is a living legend in pharmaceutical sales: Aviator sunglasses, impeccable trench coat, he always hits the mark.

When a scandal taints the prestigious Sopharma laboratory, management sends Marylou, a young and ambitious executive, to accompany him on the ground. Their mission: to restore the lab’s image... and to unmask the mole leaking secrets to the press. 

Between old methods and new codes, the tour in France promises to be anything but a simple commercial outing... especially since Marylou has a secret mission: to hasten his downfall!

Alexandre René (VP International Cinema Sales at France tv distribution) and Julia Schulte (SVP International Sales at France tv distribution):

"Based on a graphic novel, The Expert, The Rookie & The Mole blends broad comedy, social satire, and a road-trip dynamic. It’s the kind of film that also questions our relationship to work, success, and social guilt."
