A FAMILY ON THE EDGE

Pitch

Poor Leo Lubac was sure he had hit rock bottom. Set-up by his bosses to take the fall in an insider trading scandal, the innocent Leo returns from prison to find his life of privilege has disappeared into thin air. His family has decamped from the chic of the capital to the shock of the provinces. And job prospects for an ex-con are not exactly bright. As if that wasn’t depressing enough, his brother-in-law – hopeless at everything including suicide! – has joined their unhappy household. Just when he thinks things couldn’t possibly get any worse, enters Michael Balducci, Leo’s cellmate from the big house. The ever-charming conman leads the desperate Lubacs down a slippery slope of comedy and criminality. What else could they have to lose?
