Classe Moyenne

Freshly graduated corporate lawyer Mehdi (Sami Outalbali, internationally recognised as Rahim in Sex Education) is spending the summer at the luxurious South of France villa owned by his girlfriend Garance’s family.

The Trousselards are everything he is not: wealthy, polished, and quietly condescending. Philippe (Laurent Lafitte, The Count of Monte Cristo, AF FFF25), Garance’s father, is a celebrated Parisian lawyer who never misses an opportunity to assert his superiority. His wife, a once-promising actress, struggles with a fading fame and unfulfilled ambitions.

In the background, the estate’s caretakers, Tony and Nadine (Ramzy Bedia and Laure Calamy – who needs no introduction), live on the property with their daughter, maintaining the villa while enduring a series of subtle humiliations. When a financial dispute arises, the family’s refined manners begin to crumble, exposing long-simmering tensions.

Coming from a modest background, Mehdi instinctively sympathises with the caretakers. But eager to secure an internship at Philippe’s prestigious law firm, he attempts to mediate between the two sides, only to find himself trapped in a conflict that spirals beyond his control, where money, pride, and power collide.

Directed by Antony Cordier (Happy Few, AF FFF11), this sharp dark comedy draws on real-life situations pushed to satirical extremes, delivering a biting portrait of class privilege and the fragility of civility.
