But due to a cancelled flight, the holiday will take place in a far less glamorous and much rainier destination: Yves’ family home in Brittany. During the vacation, their bonds are challenged by Antoine’s constant complaining, Yves’ pride, Baptiste’s superstition and Laurent’s jealousy of Jean-Mich’s perfect life and family. On top of that, Antoine’s supposedly harmless joke – offering Yves a DNA ancestry test – has unforeseen consequences…

"To invent a wife when you're single, and you want to seduce a young woman who claims to be attracted only to married men, you still have to lie. To make your new conquest believe that you live in the superb duplex that you keep during the holidays, you must always lie. For Serge, this cascade of lies will lead to new catastrophic fabrications, but also reveal astonishing truths. His professional and sentimental life will be turned upside down, dragging his best friends into its whirlwind. The only certainty of this story, is that WITHOUT LIE, nothing would have happened. "
17, rue Bleue is an autobiographical drama about an Algerian immigrant's self-destruction in Paris. In it, director Chad Chenouga recounts how his mother, Adda, came to France as an illegal alien, hoping to escape the haunting secrets of her native land, and seeking a new life of wealth. When Adda falls in love with her employer, a wealthy Parisian named Merlin, she believes her fortune is within reach. But troubles begin when Merlin suddenly dies, leaving behind no clear will.

As legal defeats mount up, Adda turns to drugs, driving away friends and family members, until she's left with only her son, Chad. When he turns 16, his mother dies from her many years of drug abuse.
