Summary
Modest shop assistant Arthur is shocked when he hears that his adopted grandmother has
died in a car accident. He gives up his job and his girlfriend and heads straight
for her sprawling family estate, for which he holds a special affection. Arthur
is delighted to hear that his grandmother has bequeathed the estate equally to him and
her true granddaughter, Sarah. Unfortunately, Sarah, now a successful businesswoman,
plans to demolish the house and build a modern complex on its site. Appalled, Arthur
will do anything to thwart her plans…
Review
This engaging comedy-drama stars Michel Boujenah and Zabou, two very likeable actors who
have a pleasing on-screen chemistry and great comic timing. Whilst the plot is a
little pedestrian, the ending a bit too predictable, the script does contain some irresistibly
funny comic situations and the film is, overall, curiously satisfying. The sunny
photography adds a touch of wistful poignancy to offset the comedy, beautifully complementing
Michel Boujenah’s sympathetic tragicomic characterisation.
