Mehdi is on his way to spend a relaxing vacation with his in-laws when a violent altercation erupts between the family and the estate’s guards. Thrust into the role of mediator, Mehdi, a man who has escaped his working-class origins, must navigate the clash of privilege and resentment. Antony Cordier returns to Directors’ Fortnight two decades after Cold showers, continuing his exploration of social dynamics with humor and sharp observation. Featuring Laurent Lafitte, Sami Outalbali, and Élodie Bouchez, the film skewers materialism, prejudice, and hypocrisy with biting wit.
