Familles à vendre (2005)
Film Synopsis
For those who are interested in discovering their origins, what could be more rational than making use of an agency specialising in this field? Baruk, Andrew, Irène and Samuel are four people who, living on different sides of the world, are keen to find out something about their ancestors. Edik Letov offers to provide this service, for a modest fee, although what his clients do not know is that he is a shameless con artist. His plan is to recruit several people in a small town in Ukraine to pretend to be distant relatives of his clients. It sounds like a foolproof scam...© James Travers
