Le Rat Débile et Le Rat Méchant

2004 · 90 min · ★ 7.0 · Comedy

On the verge of arrest, a corrupt congressman takes refuge in his cousin’s house, the home of a boorish yet life-loving peasant. Swapping a luxury mansion for a hovel, a veritable pigsty, this refined and educated gentleman finds it hard to adapt to such a crude way of life. To make matters worse, a DJ with a trailer parked nearby is planning to throw a rave out in the middle of nowhere. The disgraced politician is waiting for his accomplices, who are supposed to take him to an airport so he can flee to South America. But nothing goes according to plan, and he ends up stranded with his vulgar relative in the back of beyond.
