Sauver les meubles

Mark and Emma, a couple of architects, discover their perfect suburban Paris home is built on a foundation of problems. Instead of enjoying life, they battle endless construction flaws, peculiar neighbors, and their own ambitions. This 2025 French comedy transforms the mundane drama of renovation into a witty satire of the modern middle class. Director Antoine Lefevre finds humor in wall cracks and family arguments over tile choices. With each new "surprise" from the builders, the protagonists drift further from their dream of perfection. The film balances light humor with subtle observations about how material values can undermine even the strongest relationships.
