The Fantastic Journey of Margot & Marguerite

The Fantastic Journey of Margot & Marguerite (2020) is a French family comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Margot and Marguerite are twelve-year-olds with the ordinary worries of any kid that age — family, school, friends who don't always get them. The catch is that one of them lives in 2020 and the other in 1942.

When both girls climb into the same old wooden chest, their timelines quietly trade places, and each lands in the other's world. They look so alike that nobody — not parents, not classmates — spots the swap. From there it's a gentle tangle of mix-ups: a modern girl learning to manage wartime France without a single screen, and a 1940s child meeting the future head-on. Pierre Coré directs, with Alice Pol and Clovis Cornillac among the grown-ups on screen. At 89 breezy minutes it's built for a family night, and underneath the body-swap fun sits a small idea: seeing your life from another era makes your own problems easier to face.
