Synopsis
What a happy family the Gazuls! A picnic by the side of a main road : how delightful! And the kids are such good pupils!And the father is about to have a pay raise. And when the postman come it is to deliver the most exquisite catalog ever. And Marcel is so self-reliant : can't he install a coat rack without anybody's help ? Do they have friends ? Of course they have and the male guests do not hesitate to wash ( and break - but this is so irrepressible!) the dishes. And if one day Mr. Gazul barricades himself in his house and threatens to shoot at any living soul approaching, isn't it to prepare the most blissful of all experiences: to surrender quietly to the police forces...???
