Un film mordant et satirique campé par des acteurs excellents. D’un côté la morgue que donne l’argent, de l’autre des gardiens qui entendent profiter un peu du système, mais qui dans ce jeu risque d’être perdants.Derrière la fausse familiarité apparaissent les vérités de chacun: les grincements du portillon sont la métaphore de tous ces faux pas et humiliations vécus par le couple de gardiens au point que le drame est inévitable.
Synopsis
Mehdi had planned to spend a quiet summer in his in-laws' sumptuous home. But as soon as he arrives, a conflict breaks out between his girfriend's family and the villa's janitor couple. As Mehdi comes from a modest background, he thinks he can lead the negotiations between the two parties and bring everyone back to their senses. But things start to escalate...
