While her apartment is being renovated, Jacqueline is thrilled to be forced into spending "a few days" with her eldest daughter Carole and her son-in-law, who are both in couples therapy. These "few days" turn into "a few months". Jacqueline quickly feels at home. She prepares dinners, monopolizes the television, reorganizes the kitchen... She is here, and no one knows for how long!

VIBE

This film feels like a slow-burn invasion of personal space. It’s a hilariously uncomfortable dive into family boundaries, where passive aggression and passive-aggressive cooking create a tense, yet funny, domestic battlefield. Prepare for cringey, relatable chaos.
