Family for Rent on 6ter: Benoît Poelvoorde negotiates a family life

A family in exchange for having her debts paid off: that’s the deal Paul-André offers Violette in Une famille à louer, airing on 6ter. Benoît Poelvoorde plays the wealthy but isolated man, opposite Virginie Efira, whose character risks losing her home and custody of her children.

Paul-André thinks he can try out family life like closing a deal. Violette agrees to the arrangement to get out of financial trouble. Their living together thus brings a man accustomed to solitude into the orbit of a mother already caught up in the day-to-day demands of her two children.

Jean-Pierre Améris reunites with Benoît Poelvoorde after Romantics Anonymous. He co-wrote this comedy with Murielle Magellan, which also features François Morel. The Franco-Belgian film was released in France on August 19, 2015.
