Original Title: Le sens de la fête
A whip-smart, riotous comedy from the writer/director team behind the MSPIFF hit The Intouchables. Max has run a catering company for 30 years. Today is Pierre and Helena's big day. As usual, Max recruited his team of waitpersons, cooks, and dishwashers. He advised the couple on a photographer, reserved the band: everything to make the party a success. From the preparations to daybreak, we get a behind-the-scenes look at a wedding party through the eyes of the people working on it. They will all have to count on their one common quality: they know what it means to throw a good party.
Lumières Françaises highlights an exciting new generation of rising francophone talent on both sides of the camera, from rebellious comedies to exquisite dramas and vivid documentaries.
