L'été en pente douce

When aspiring novelist Fane returns home after his mother's death, he brings with him a tangled web of relationships and desires. Joining forces with his bumbling brother Mo and pretty girlfriend Lilas, Fane must navigate the complex landscape of small-town politics and property disputes, all while facing off against the greedy garage owner Voke who will stop at nothing to claim the family's prized estate. Directed by Gérard Krawczyk from Pierre Pelot's novel, this 1987 French comedy-drama is a wickedly funny exploration of family, loyalty, and the human condition.
