The wedding of Vincent and Berenger does not begin well. For starters, the fabulous cake for the reception falls apart as the butler of the château, and one of the caterers is taking down a flight of stairs falls. The cream puffs are carefully picked up from the floor an arranged as though nothing happened. The bride comes from a bourgeois family, presided by Maddie, an old lady with a secret in her heart. The wedding, to be performed at the local church, by father Victor, proves to be not the classic marriage that has been planned...

VIBE

A chaotic, laugh-out-loud farce where everything that can go wrong, does. Expect escalating absurdity and physical comedy as a wedding descends into delightful disarray. Perfect for a group that enjoys pure, unadulterated silliness.
