Maria and José Ribeiro emigrated from Portugal to
France 30 years ago. She works as the devoted concierge of a posh apartment
building and he is a site foreman. They raised two children, slaved away to
satisfy the demands of their bosses in modesty and discretion until they get a
large inheritance from Portugal. Is it not time to retire for them? Yes, of
course they deserve it!
Somehow the news of the inheritance spreads and
everything goes awry especially with the bosses who are going to do their best
to keep the couple working. And no help from the kids: Manuel in high school
wants to stay in France and Paula is in love with her father’s boss’s son...
What a mess!
“… this cute comedy going from humor to
seriousness, from lightness to depth, has a full deck of cards to be a smash
hit!” (Julien Barcilon).
A gem of a movie as it is funny, colourful and very
moving with larger than life actors!
