The story
Two families from the Paris region choose Deauville for a seaside holiday and carefully plan their stay. The Moreaus, led by Jacques, who projects authority but is soon overwhelmed by events, share a rented villa with friends. The other group is led by their friend Maurice Dubois, described as more tense and vindictive than the Moreaus. Mishaps begin on the journey, when Lucien Moreau encounters a nervous, aggressive driver. Moreau also happens upon an authoritarian boss, who imposes his passion for camping on everyone, unsettling hopes for a peaceful holiday with family and friends.
Full plot (contains spoilers)
To enjoy a pleasant vacation by the sea, two families from the Paris region choose the town of Deauville as their holiday destination. Although they have carefully planned their stay, the Moreaus—whose head of the family, Jacques (Michel Serrault), puts on an air of authority but is quickly overwhelmed by events—share a rented villa with friends. The other “tribe” is led by their friend Maurice Dubois (Claude Brasseur), who is more tense and vindictive than the Moreaus. One mishap follows another for this convivial arrangement, which gradually turns into a psychological drama. Even on the route to Deauville, Lucien Moreau encounters a nervous, aggressive driver (Louis de Funès). By chance, Moreau runs into his authoritarian boss (Michel Galabru), who imposes his passion for camping on everyone. A series of mishaps disrupts what should have been a peaceful, happy time with family and friends...
