Synopsis:
It is the summer of 1910. On the northern shore of France two clumsy policemen resembling Laurel and Hardy investigate a mysterious disappearance of a group of tourists in a town with two completely different families: the eccentric and incestuous rich family Van Peteghem and local fishermen-cannibals family Bréfort. These two big families full of crazy characters will be joined by the relationship between the strange and somewhat vicious Ma Loute and the transgender Billi Van Peteghem. It is a real challenge for these likeable lunatics to find out the truth about the disappearance of tourists. The film had its premiere in Cannes.
