Ensemble c'est trop (2010)
Directed by Léa Fazer

Comedy
aka: Together Is Too Much

Film Synopsis

Clémentine and Sébastien are a young couple who have allowed themselves to become ground down by the tedious routine of work and family.  Still, even that is preferable to the nightmare that ensues when Sébastien's mother Marie-France turns up and decides to move in with them.  It seems that Sébastien's father Henri has been cheating on his wife, with the result that his younger mistress is now pregnant with his child.  Incensed by this turn of events, Marie-France behaves like an unruly teenager, bringing chaos and frayed nerves aplenty to her adopted household.  Clémentine and Sébastien are at a complete loss as to what to do - just how do you deal with an adolescent sixty-year-old?  Henri's belated paternity and the emotional upheaval that comes with it seem to signal some kind of generational switch.  Now it is time for the children to tell their parents how to live their lives - not that it will do them much good...
