Film Synopsis

Everything is prepared.  At a New Year's party organised by Brigitte, Oulage has it all planned so that he can finally seduce the girl he loves.  It's now or never, because Brigitte is hosting a fancy dress party at her parents' house.  The only thing that Oulage has overlooked is the gang of parasites who are determined to ruin his plans for the evening.  They include: an ex-girlfriend from Alsace, a manic-depressive police chief, a drug addict desperate for his next fix, a ravishing illegal immigrant from Cuba, and many others...
