Synopsis

Cabaret owner Gabriel dies unexpectedly and his absent children make the trek from Paris to Nice to attend the funeral. Friends, lovers and former wives (including Catherine Deneuve) are equally grief-stricken and curious about what Gabriel left behind. The reading of the will results in a bombshell: Gabriel has unexpectedly left the Blue Parrot Cabaret to his completely uninterested children, rather than to his devoted friend. He’s also left strict instructions that the show must go on; the dysfunctional family must keep the Blue Parrot running!
