Kids Are Back
Directed by Michèle Laroque
Produced by Alter Films, StudioCanal
A lighthearted domestic comedy about the friction and unexpected bonds that emerge when adult children move back in with their parents, disrupting a marriage's equilibrium.
Catherine and Yann, happily married for many years, should have spent the year travelling abroad. But since he sold his business, Yann has been too busy with his bonsai trees and keeps postponing the big trip. Things go from bad to worse when their 27-year-old broke daughter and her boyfriend lose their apartment and come knocking on the door to stay. With Yann’s mid-life crisis spinning out of control, their couch surfing daughter and partner getting increasingly invasive and their stay becoming indefinite, Catherine will try everything to kick them out of the parental home and get her life back on track!
