On ne choisit pas sa famille

Nov 9 2011 N/A 1h 43m
Adventure, Comedy

César Borgnoli, an unsuccessful car salesman from Italy, lives well beyond his means. In order to get out of his financial disaster, he agrees to a deal: he pretends to be the husband of his sister's girlfriend Kim so she can legally adopt a little girl from Thailand. Caesar believes this to be a great idea and is looking forward to his trip to Thailand. After all, he is going to be able to mix business with pleasure--so he thinks. He didn't expect the local police, the Chinese Triads and the director of the orphanage to chip in, who want to make sure that little Mai is going to end up in a nice family.

Plot

Alex wants to adopt charming 5-year old little Miley, who lives in Thailand, but according to Thai law, adoptive parents need to be a married couple. Alex recruits his bankrupt auto-dealer brother César Borgnoli to pose as the husband of Alex's friend Kim, and the two will go to Thailand to claim Miley. But it's hard to find an odder couple than Kim and César. And Dr. Luis, Miley's guardian, suspects that something's wrong.
