Case départ (Tee box) is a 2011 French comedy film directed by Lionel Steketee, Fabrice Eboué and Thomas N'Gijol.

Plot

Half-brothers Régis (Fabrice Eboue) and Joel (Thomas N'Gijol) Grosdésir are called to their estranged father's deathbed in the French Antilles. He has nothing to bequeath them but the family treasure - the certificate of manumission that freed their common ancestor from slavery.

Unfortunately Régis and Joel are observed by their aunt (Isabel del Carmen Solar Montalvo) as they tear the precious document up and mock it. She is enraged and casts a spell to send them back to the 18th century, where they are immediately picked up and sold as slaves. In a Back to the Future style coming-of-age storyline they must help their great-grandparents to meet and fall in love, if they have any hope of returning to their lives - or to a better version of themselves.
