Released in theaters in 2016, Gabriel Julien-Laferrière's comedy C'est quoi cette famille?! will be available to stream on Prime Video starting November 1, 2025. Starring Julie Gayet, Thierry Neuvic, and Julie Depardieu, the film depicts a colorful blended family in a lighthearted satire suitable for ages 10 and up.
Written by Camille Moreau and Olivier Treiner, the film humorously tackles the daily challenges of a family scattered across multiple homes, where the children decide to take back control in the face of the adults' absurdities.
Thirteen-year-oldBastien is at the heart of an XXL blended family: six half-brothers and sisters, eight "parents," and just as many homes. Tired of juggling between homes, the children decide to reverse the roles and move in together in a large apartment, forcing their parents to take turns looking after them. A revolutionary idea that upsets the family balance and forces everyone to face their contradictions.
A tender and ironic ensemble comedy, C’est quoi cette famille?! tackles the themes of living together, new family models, andchildren's independence. Its success led to two sequels: C’est quoi cette mamie?! (2019) and C’est quoi ce papy?! (2021), also directed by Gabriel Julien-Laferrière.
