DINNER WITH THE FAMILY

SYNOPSIS: 

 

Trying to win the lovely Isabelle's affection, cheating married man Georges Delachaume tells her about his romantic family home in the country and his warm and caring parents.

 

To make the story convincing, he rents a house in the country, employs a couple of actors to play his parents and engages a firm of caterers with a butler, who agrees to pretend he is an old family retainer. To this house of dreams Isabelle is invited, but things don't go quite the way Georges planned..!
