“Some call it organized crime. Others call it family.”

CrimeComedyAction

After ratting out his Mafia cohorts, Giovanni Manzoni and his family enter the Witness Protection Program and relocate to a sleepy town in France. Despite the best efforts of their handler to keep them in line, Giovanni (now called Fred Blake), his wife and children can't help but resort to doing things the "family" way. However, their dependence on such old habits places everyone in danger from vengeful mobsters.

VIBE

A darkly comedic romp where a notorious family's attempts at normalcy are constantly undermined by their ingrained, violent habits. It's a chaotic, irreverent exploration of culture clash and the inescapable pull of one's past, all wrapped in a stylish, propulsive package.
