Plot
The story of Aleksandra and Cyrille, a prominent, trendy, and very well-off Parisian couple, whose life is not quite the same after seven-year-old Alekseï from Russia suddenly pops up in their 100% cashmere, childless home.
Sinekatalog’s take
A stylish Parisian couple's cashmere-lined childless life is upended when a seven-year-old from Russia appears. The comedy pokes at privilege with gentle satire, though its jokes are lighter than its premise suggests.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
