Written by the director in league with Jean-Alain Laban (who wrote six episodes of the Panthers series), Steven Mitz (An Ordinary Case [+leggi anche:

scheda film]) and Julie Peyr, the story revolves around a clash between wealthy Parisian holiday home owners and their housekeepers. Hailing from a modest background, newly qualified in law, and madly in love with Garance (Noée Abita), Mehdi (Sami Outalbali) is spending the summer with his in-laws. As soon as he arrives, a conflict breaks out between Garance’s family (Laurent Lafitte and Élodie Bouchez) and their two housekeepers (Laure Calamy and Ramzy Bedia) who are illegally employed on a yearly basis. Tempers flare, but Mehdi thinks he can oversee negotiations between the two parties and help everyone see reason. Until the situation escalates…
