AFFFF25: Family Therapy

Australian Premiere

How close is too close?

Doctor Béranger (Christian Clavier, Employee of the Month, AF FFF22), a brilliant psychoanalyst, has life figured out – except for one little hiccup: his desperately needy client, Damien Leroy (Baptiste Lecaplain). Suffocated by Damien’s relentless clinginess, Béranger devises a plan to get rid of him by convincing him of a “secret” – true love will cure him. At first, it works like a charm... until it works too well.

Fast-forward to Béranger’s thirtieth wedding anniversary, when his daughter drops a bombshell: her new boyfriend is none other than Damien Leroy. Worse, Béranger and Damien must pretend they’ve never met. With the family’s happiness on the line, a celebratory weekend of meeting the parents spirals into chaos as true love turns from remedy to disaster. 

Arnaud Lemort's upbeat, slapstick comedy will leave you in stitches, poking fun at attachment theory, boundaries, and the absurd idea that true love fixes everything. Packed with shenanigans and heartfelt missteps, Family Therapy shows what happens when family and work collide, with hilarious results. After all, what’s better than a free therapy session, even if it derails your psych’s life in the process?
