Le Bonheur Est Dans Le Pre

Francis (Michel Serrault) is stressed. He is struggling with a rebellious workforce at his factory and being hounded by the taxman. His snobby wife and daughter are extravagantly planning a society wedding with what little money he has left.

Francis wants a way out. Whilst watching a TV programme, he is shocked to see a woman with two daughters give a passionate speech about her long-lost husband who looks surprisingly just like him. Francis puts himself forward as her husband and enters a new more relaxed lifestyle on a farm with his sexy new wife and daughters. He thinks his problems are over, but soon realises the life he has stepped into isn’t as perfect as he thought!

Featuring a critically-acclaimed performance by Eric Cantona, this is a darkly funny story of a man in search of happiness, from the director of La vie est un long fleuve tranquil.
