The Dinner Guest

Director - Laurent Bouhnik

Fifty years old and unemployed for three years, Gérard is getting desperate when, out of the blue,
he is offered a job in Indonesia.

Determined to make a good impression on his new boss, Gérard invites him to dinner. A BIG mistake! Panic-stricken, Colette, Gérard's wife, calls in Alexandre, their PR guru neighbour.

Alexandre resolves to give the couple the ultimate 24-hour make over. Their apartment, interior design, lifestyle, taste buds, fashion sense, general knowledge...

Nothing is overlooked! After many dramas, mishaps, misunderstandings and general bungling, with frazzled nerves, Gérard and Colette open the door to welcome... their dinner guest.
