C’EST LA VIE! This feel-good comedy from the duo who brought you the Intouchables, is a delightfully sprawling story of a day in the life of an ageing Parisian wedding caterer. He’s driven to frustrated distraction as a complex wedding in a 17th-century chateau unravels - the groom is demanding, the photographer is a free-loading has-been and the waiter once dated the bride - so things can’t possibly go to plan!

The directorial debut of acclaimed character actor John Carroll Lynch is also a cinematic love letter to its legendary leading man and a deeply felt meditation on mortality, loneliness and spirituality.

Unknown to him, it’s the women of Windsor who really pull the strings, orchestrating Falstaff’s comeuppance amidst a theatrical smorgasbord of petty rivalries, jealousies and over-inflated egos. For a fat Englishman, a Welshman and a Frenchman, the only way is Windsor…
