Last year’s TIFF closing night gala featured this new comedy from the team behind the hit film The Intouchables. Pierre and Helena’s wedding will take place in a 17th century French palace and rests in the hands of Max (Jean-Pierre Bacri), with his staff of 40 people. Upon his arrival, Max finds his assistant Adele clashing with James, the pretentious lounge singer. Then Josiane, Jean-Pierre’s mistress and the chef de salle, announces that she’s leaving him. The egocentric groom arrives on the scene to finalize the last details, and begins to order everyone around. And the day is just beginning.
