A conventional French family lives in apparent harmony...
until one day the father brings home a pet rat. As each member of the
family comes into contact with the rat, hidden sexual and psychological
desires are brought out. SITCOM is an outrageous farce that shatters
the flawless veneer of the bourgeoisie and humorously challenges the
family values of a standard sitcom.

get flouted within an inch of their lives."

satirical farce."
