- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 52 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Simultaneously, a retired couple overwhelmed by debt tries to win a dance contest, as the minister of economy is suspected of tax evasion, and a teenage girl encounters a sexual maniac, while a young lawyer attempts to climb the social ladder. When the shoe drops, the winner won’t necessarily be the one we expected.
