The film starts on the morning of the wedding of two 25-year-olds from respectable families, but as the day gathers speed, more and more doubt creeps in regarding everyone's respectability, and several other people's marriages start to show cracks at their foundations. The happy couple hesitate for quite a long time before agreeing to marry during the church ceremony.
The mother of the bride, played by the delectable Miou-Miou, has been organising everything (except other people's relationships) to perfection, and suddenly at the evening festivities she brings on a travesty performer Roberta, played by Michel Dussarat (actually spelt Dussarrat in the film titles). Roberta's makeup seems to be strangely monochrome.
It was difficult to see how this performance improved things at the wedding reception, or in the film's plot. At first everyone looked rather horrified, but suddenly everyone was smiling and tapping their feet, and Roberta discarded part of her costume (although she never got as far as stripping or anything like that). Suddenly that part of the film was over, and a man with a shotgun forced another man to confess to shagging his wife. I found it all rather disjointed.
Dusarrat has not done any other travesty work in films as far as I know.
