On purge bébé !

This "scene of private life", as Balzac would have said, moves forward with unexpected explosions, like a vaudeville, and points out with an entomologist's precision the shortcomings that plague families, like a comedy of manners. Monsieur, Madame and Toto form an infernal and irresistible trio where, in descending order of power, from seven-year-old Toto to his father, a veiled chamber pot industrialist, and his mother, a domestic harpy for whom bad faith is second nature, the epic and destructive battle to purge the unbearable kid is played out. The absurdity of repetitive situations, built on nothing at all, borders on the delirious, but nonetheless allows for the great unpacking of marital resentments and failures.
