Jean-Gabriel has decided to take his entire family to spend Christmas vacation in the mountains. And this time, there better be no hiccups.

But he hadn't counted on his mother showing up from the West Indies, his children who don't want to go away, Jojo who leaves him with his Hummer, and his wife who tells him that she's got to look after her father whom she hasn't seen since she told him she was marrying Jean-Gabriel.

But for Jean-Gabriel, family is sacred and so is Christmas!

In Sète, a bourgeois family in a house in the middle of nowhere clashes with slum-dwellers residing in the projects.

A mother and a daughter. Two childhood friends. A disappearance. Blackmail. Catherine Deneuve plays a mother trying desperately to save her daughter (Diane Kruger) from a questionable relationship. 

 

Tueurs / Above the Law (Jean-François Hensgens and François Troukens, 2017)

Frank Valken, a crack thief, has just carried out a final masterful robbery with no hiccups. At least that's what he thinks.

Ideal suspects, Valken and his gang find themselves caught up in a criminal case resurrected after thirty years. It would seem that crazy killers are back in town and on the loose.
