And very soon, a whole gypsy camp forms at his door, headed up by the cheeky Babik. If he doesn’t let them in, he loses the votes of his constituents. His calm family life is over: the uninvited guests swim in his indoor pool, hold concerts in the courtyard, set up camp in the master bathroom, drink through his wine collection, and even make a pass at Jean-Étienne’s wife, the avant-garde artist Daphné. But that’s not the worst of it! Because Jean-Étienne’s only son, Lionel, falls in love with Babik’s daughter, pretty young Lulughia, and is planning on marrying her!
