has,
The new film from Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau (Dréle de Felix, Ma Vie) is easily their most accessible to date (some critics have even suggested
that this will be the film that moves them out of the queer cinema closet). This funny and filthy romp follows the
fortunes of a family who decide, one summer holiday, to return to the seaside house of the father's youth. Once
there, the daughter takes up with a biker, the son roams the beaches with his gay best friend and parents Béatrix (Valeria Bruni Tedeshi) and Marc (Gilbert Melki) deal with old flames and lovers. This immensely fun farce is showing as part of both the Glasgow Film Festival and the Renault French Film Festival UK.
