A warm, energetic farce about a father-son relationship tested by social pretense, built on physical comedy and the clash between authentic identity and respectability.

Two gay men living in St. Tropez have their lives turned upside down when the son of one of the men announces he is getting married. They try to conceal their lifestyle and their ownership of the drag club downstairs when the fiancée and her parents come for dinner.
