Les Aristos

2006 · 79 min

A featherlight French farce that coasts on charm and silly snobbery; pleasant enough to watch with half an eye, never demanding much.

Directed by
Charlotte de Turckheim
Genres
Comedy
Starring
Charlotte de Turckheim, Jacques Weber, Vincent Desagnat
Overview
The Arbac de Neuvilles are one of the oldest families in France. They have inhabited their ancient château for fifty-two generations and are proud of their noble ancestry. But today they are stone broke. When a bailiff turns up notifying them that they owe two million euros in back taxes, these proud aristocrats are understandably shaken to the core of their ancestral seat. Just how are they to find this amount of money when none of them has any capacity for work?
