My Father's Guests

Lucien is a retired doctor known for his progressive beliefs and militant involvement in humanitarian causes. At the age of 80, he takes his convictions a step further and marries Tatiana, a young illegal immigrant from Moldavia, so she can stay in the country. From his daughter Babette (Karin Viard), herself a doctor who has always worshipped her father’s progressive convictions, to his son Arnaud (Fabrice Luchini), who became a rich business lawyer partly as rebellion against him, everyone has a different interpretation of what seems like an old man’s whim. Chaos ensues as Tatiana makes herself at home and Lucien starts talking about inheritance. –COL•COA
