Spoiled Brats

In SPOILED BRATS, Francis Bartek (Gerard Jugnot) is a wealthy businessman living in a mansion in Monaco with his three adult kids Phillippe (Victor Artus Solaro), Stella (Camille Lou), and Alexandre (Louka Meliava). Phillippe is in line to inherit the family business, but spends his time binge drinking and coming up with harebrained money-making schemes. Stella spends her days on shopping sprees in expensive boutiques, berating the help, and lounging around with her Argentinian playboy boyfriend who seems to have ulterior motives for wanting to marry her. Alexandre is a college student posing as an intellectual, but spends most of his time having affairs with the wife and daughters of his professor. When his kids' entitled behavior goes too far, Francis realizes that he needs to teach them lessons on self reliance and earning a living. With the help of his assistant, Francis concocts an elaborate scheme to make it look like he lost all of his money, and now he and his kids are forced to live in an old country home in the hinterlands of Marseilles and must figure out ways that they'll make money in order to eat. After the shock of their lost entitlement wears off, Phillippe finds work pedaling a pedicab, Stella finds work as a server, and Alexandre helps Francis as they make much-needed repairs on the country home. As his scheme starts working, and his kids begin to learn the value of hard work, Francis must also learn lessons and confront the fact that his pursuit of his career instead of parenting his kids after his wife's untimely passing played a huge role in his kids becoming spoiled.
