Overview

An aging gangster, Fernand Naudin is hoping for a quiet retirement when he suddenly inherits a fortune from an old friend, a former gangster supremo known as the Mexican. If he is ambivalent about his new found wealth, Fernand is positively nonplussed to discover that he has also inherited his benefactor’s daughter, Patricia. Unfortunately, not only does Fernand have to put up with the thoroughly modern Patricia and her nauseating boyfriend, but he also had to contend with the Mexican’s trigger-happy former employees, who are determined to make a claim.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A gruff old gangster finds himself unexpectedly saddled with inheritance complications and a surrogate daughter he never asked for, in a romp through the Parisian underworld that's as much about found family as it is crime capers. Charming chaos where hardened criminals meet their match in domesticity.
