Directed by Benoît Delépine, Gustave Kervern

Comedy / Drama

Film Synopsis

The relationship between Bruno and his father Jean has not improved since the death of his mother, but they continue to attend agricultural shows together.  Whilst Jean proudly exhibits his prize-winning bull Nabuchodonosor, the rebellious Bruno goes off on his own, happily sampling the wines.  This year, Jean decides to take his son on a proper wine trail, in the hope that this might improve relations between them.  Taking a taxi driven by an amiable young man named Mike, they begin their grand tour with a stop at a guest house run by a very strange individual.  Later on, Mike offers some tips on how to get food for free in a hotel.  The weird excursion turns out to be much more eventful and profitable than Jean had hoped...
