Sous le même toit (2017)
Directed by Dominique Farrugia

Comedy

Film Synopsis

Accepting that their marriage is well and truly over Delphine and Yvan agree to an amicable divorce.  The idea of a final separation seems to suit them fine, and even their two children Violette and Lucas see this as the best solution.  Then comes the painful reality.  Overwhelmed by financial problems, Yvan finds he has no choice but to return to his former apartment and claim the twenty per cent stake that he has in it.  Understandably, Delphine is none to keen to resume her cohabitation with a man she hoped she had seen the last of, but reluctantly she agrees to go along with the arrangement.  Scrupulously, she insists that Yvan has a claim on only one fifth of the amenities offered by the apartment, and this applies as much to the space he is allotted in the fridge to the time he is allowed in the bathroom each day.  Soon the strain of this bizarre enforced flat sharing agreement becomes intolerable for both Delphine and Yvan...
