Product Description

The smash hit comedy from Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau Directors of MA VIE & DRÔLE DE FÉLIX A pleasurable comedy of love and sexual identity unfurls over a balmy summer holiday. Marc (Melki) takes his wife Béatrix (Tedeschi) and their two children to the seaside house of his youth. The Mediterranean wind blows and the heat of summer strokes their passions and desires. Nineteen-year-old daughter Laura, has a rendez-vous with her biker boyfriend and then heads off to Spain, while their son Charly, 17, roams with his best friend Martin. Béatrix is sensitive to the erotically charged atmosphere that exists between the boys, and imagines that her son is gay. Marc meanwhile is upset at the prospect of it, although Béatrix is determined to be open. When Béatrix's lover Mathieu shows up, and Marc's old flame appears, complications ensue and the holiday descends into chaos.

Feel Good Film 5 July 2007
Format:DVD
My partner and I both really enjoyed this film. It's fun and quite heart-warming, well-acted and entertaining without being over-dramatic or contrived. Very enjoyable and well worth watching.

This could only be a French film, as the machinations of the plot are like a Feydeau farce. Very amusing, but the song and dance routine at the end is a bit mystifying - what was... Read more
