Life Is a Long Quiet River
La vie est un long fleuve tranquille (original)
An outrageously wicked comedy about two families from award winning debut filmmaker Étienne Chatiliez, this fast-paced satire became the most popular French comedy of the decade. The radiantly bourgeois Le Quesnoys with their immaculate children and perfect manners and the grubby, disreputable Groseilles are thrown together in absurd chaos by an act of revenge as they discover that twelve years prior their babies were switched at birth. A witty send up of class relations and family ties, 'Life Is a Long Quiet River' was celebrated with a host of trophies at France's César Awards ceremony winning for best screenplay, best debut work and acting prizes for Hélène Vincent and Catherine Jacob.
Starring Benoît Magimel, Valérie Lalande, Catherine Hiegel, Daniel Gélin, Hélène Vincent, André Wilms, Christine Pignet, Maurice Mons, Catherine Jacob, Tara Römer
It's a comedy and drama movie, and has a rating of 6.8 out of 10 from Imdb which is usually fine for this kind of movie.
