In the charming 2015 comedy Une famille à louer, we meet Paul-André, a reserved and wealthy man in his forties who finds himself engulfed in a deep sense of loneliness and ennui. Despite his financial success, he longs for the warmth and joy of family life, which leads him to a rather unconventional solution: renting a family. Enter Violette, an exuberant single mother facing the threat of eviction and the potential loss of her children. With her back against the wall, she reluctantly agrees to Paul-André's peculiar proposal—allowing him to pay off her debts in exchange for the experience of being part of her chaotic family life.
