What Have We Done to Them Again?

Claude and Marie Verneuil, lovers of old-fashioned France and true bourgeois, once reluctantly came to terms with their daughters marrying men of various origins – and eventually overcame all their deep-rooted prejudices. But now a new crisis awaits them: their four sons-in-law Rachid, David, Chao, and Charles are determined to leave France for different reasons.

The prospect of their daughters and grandchildren scattering across the world drives Claude and Marie to devise all sorts of pretexts to keep them at home. Their plan? To prove to the family that France is the most wonderful country in the world – despite the fact that both have been happily criticizing it all along.
