Don't believe the title of this Michael Haneke film.

Drama

A well-to-do French family living in Calais deal with a series of setbacks and crises while paying little attention to the grim conditions in the refugee camps within a few miles of their home.

VIBE

A chillingly detached look at a wealthy family's self-absorption amidst escalating crises. It’s a quiet, unsettling experience that lingers, highlighting a profound disconnect from the world outside their gilded cage.
