May Fools

During the tumultuous events of May 1968 in France, a provincial bourgeois family's disparate worldviews collide in their family estate, setting off a chain reaction of infidelity, free love, and inheritance fights that serve as a biting allegory for the era's social upheaval. As the body of the deceased matriarch remains unburied due to protests, strikes, and transportation shutdowns, old rivalries and hidden resentments surface among the relatives, all while France descends into chaos outside their gates. The film's farcical tone and commentary on social change make for a wildly entertaining and thought-provoking ride.
