Film Synopsis

Three couples from very different backgrounds have the same problem.  Their lives are being ruined by their children!  Anna and David are ruthlessly dominated by their two daughters.   Elisabeth and François-Xavier know that the Devil himself hides behind the angelic faces of their three offspring.    And as for Marie and Francis... they cannot put up with 10-year-old Rebecca for a moment more.  Enough is enough!  Driven to distraction, the three sets of parents decide to consult a child psychiatrist in the hope of regaining their authority and preserving their sanity.  Will they succeed in taming their wayward children or will the vicious little monsters triumph once more...?
