The story unfolds in Paname, in 1997. After a shootout leaves his father for dead, Mohamed discovers that his father had hidden the existence of Maurice and Morgane, a brother and sister until then unknown to him. Forced to live with them, he must also take over Chez Momo, a Parisian bar where schemes, slot machines and pay-to-play stories are part of the backdrop.
Guided by Djilali, the bar’s backbone played by Kad Merad, and Sylvie, a veteran showgirl portrayed by Florence Foresti, the trio fights to save the venue, drowning in debt, while dodging attempts to bleed them dry by the local underworld. The film weaves together sibling tensions, scams, and the heaviness of a burdensome family legacy.
A Bastard Family marks Mourad Winter’s second feature, following Love Is Overrated. The director reunites here with Hakim Jemili, Laura Felpin, and Benjamin Tranié, in a dramedy set in late-1990s Paris.
Unveiled at Prime Video Presents 2025, the project is produced by Iconoclast. The trailer confirms the Paris setting, the imposed sibling dynamic, and the mix of family legacy, street-level schemes, and debts to be paid.
