The Murets are your typical dysfunctional French family. The patriarch, Jean-Paul, is a hypochondriac who recently retired and worries that the strange rash on his hip is terminal cancer. He spends his days building a clubhouse next to his gorgeous lakeside home. His wife, Anne, while appearing to be devoted on the surface is carrying on an affair with Jean-Pauls former colleague David. Meanwhile their cute gay son Mathieu avoids his parents at all costs because he does not think that they accept him and he is also afraid of committing to his boyfriend Olivier. His sister Cathie is preparing to marry Philippe whom Mathieu and her parents believe is beneath her because he runs a cleaning company and is not what they consider smart. But they grudgingly agree to host the wedding reception anyway. This dark comedy explores issues of mental health, class and family bonds.
Dir. Alfred Lot, 2010, France, 105 mins. In French with English subtitles.
