Le Ciel, les Oiseaux et... ta mère !

1999 · 90 min

A breezy, good-natured culture-clash romp that coasts on charm and cheeky banter rather than big laughs.

Overview
Four guys from a Paris housing project fabricate a documentary about drug dealers working in the City of Lights. When a television network falls hook, line, and sinker for the prank video, the foursome are given a free three-week vacation in the upscale resort community of Biarritz. As they interact with both locals and fellow tourists, they learn about love, friendship, racism, and the differences between the rich and the poor.
