About The Fabulous Patars
Denis struggles to raise his boisterous daughters Janine and Mercredi on his own while holding down two jobs. Everything goes sour when Denis forgets Mercredi one too many times at the school gates. Séverine, a cheerful social worker, is appointed to scrutinize the family’s daily lives.
Directed by Sophie Reine, The Fabulous Patars leans on a strong ensemble — Gustave Kervern, Camille Cottin, Fanie Zanini — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2016.
