Synopsis

Mehdi, 25, is invited to spend a quiet summer with his girlfriend Garance and his in-laws in the south of France. At first, Philippe and Laurence seem quite happy to welcome him in their villa and the summer looks promising. But soon, a conflict breaks out between Garance’s family and the villa's caretakers couple.

After 7 years of loyal service, Tony and Nadine have had enough of being discredited by their employers. They even threaten to take legal action against their illegal working conditions.

As Mehdi comes from a modest background, he believes he can lead the negotiations between the two parties and bring everyone to their senses. But Tony and Philippe won’t give up so easily: from stealing vegetables to destroying Philippe’s vintage wine collection, their creativity is limitless! Mehdi must face the facts: the situation is now out of control.
Unless an unforeseen event changes everything... 

Alexandre René (VP International Cinema Sales at France tv distribution) and Julia Schulte (SVP International Sales at France tv distribution):

"We are thrilled to embark on this project. The Party’s Over! captures the tension of class conflict in the vein of Parasite. With its clever writing, relatable characters, and unexpected twists, this film offers an uproarious comedy about the limits of negotiation and the absurdity of power that audiences crave today."
