Sex farce about an unfaithful husband (Alain Chabat), his wife (Victoria Abril) and a lesbian drifter (Josiane Balasko, who also wrote and directed) who turns their household upside-down. Ticky Holgado, Catherine Hiegel, Catherine Samie, Catherine Lachens. A.k.a. "Gazon Maudit.", Husband and wife Laurent and Loli live with their two young sons in a quiet, upscale suburban neighborhood near Avignon. Then, one day, a seemingly minor incident turns their lives upsidedown: a coy, butch lesbian Marijo has car trouble in front of their home, and the friendly Loli invites her in. Laurent, who himself has been cheating on Loli with half the town, immediately accuses the two women of having an affair - and, in revenge, reveals his own trespasses. Loli, who never suspected Laurent of infidelity, turns to Marijo for sympathy and comfort. To her surprise, she discovers her own lesbian desires and soon Marijo and Loli are doing exactly what Laurent accused them of. The love triangle gets even funnier when Laurent tries to win back his now happy and sexually satisfied wife.
