Comedy
Film Synopsis
Albert and Gédéon make the oddest couple. These hippie
relics of May '68 have lived together since Albert's wife died, but lately
a definite coolness appears to have entered into their relationship.
Claire, Albert's daughter, notices this as soon as she returns to them after
a period of several years. It seems that some long forgotten secret
has suddenly come to light - thanks to a persistent cop. As a result,
the harmonious state of affairs that has existed between Albert and his friend
for the past four decades appears threatened. Is there anything Claire
can do to rescue the situation...?

With so many great films to choose from, it's nigh on impossible to compile a short-list of the best 15 French films of all time - but here's our feeble attempt to do just that.
