On the sunny French Riviera, a family revelation spirals into a mischievous journey brimming with love, vengeance and surprises.
No one ever said family was easy and who could resist retribution by the seaside?
A smash-hit comedy from the French Film Festival Aotearoa 2025
Dir. Ivan Calbérac | 2024 | France | 94 mins | M
François, a war veteran, makes the most of his retirement alongside his wife Annie. Authoritarian and ruthless, François rules his family with an iron fist, but when he discovers that his esteemed wife cheated on him 40 years ago, he files for divorce and confronts her former lover, who lives in the French Riviera.
But at 73 years old, and after 50 years of marriage, is this really a good move? And wouldn’t this risk blowing up the already fragile family balance?
