13ème Mois (2009) - film review
Lewis-Martin Soucy
Comedy

Summary
When a scandal is uncovered, involving embezzling of funds and reported
abuse in the work place at the French Consulate in Rio, an envoy from
the Government is sent to clean up the mess and bury this delicate
affair. However a sudden heart attack in his office the day he
arrives turns everything upside down. His two assistants discover
the body and, not knowing how to handle the situation, clumsily provoke
a series of unbelievable and risky events which allow them to take
control of the Consulate, unbeknown to their colleagues. Talents
emerge, love affairs are revealed, complexes vanish – but things don’t
get any easier. Love and lies are not a good combination and it
all gets very tense. Sooner or later, the truth will emerge – when you
have a corpse on your hands, you’re in over your head...
