Hopefully

Marie is the ideal housewife; Sam a corporate executive who is unable – and totally unwilling – to find gainful employment. Packed into a tiny apartment in Paris’ swanky 16th arrondissement with their two kids, buried under a mountain of debt and incapable of even buying groceries, the best Marie can say to her children is: “We don’t steal – we get by.” But things get much more complicated when Madeleine suddenly dies, and Alexia, who’s been taking piano lessons from the elderly woman, decides to hide the body and steal a valuable lamp, giving it to her father to sell on eBay. Thus begins a series of slip-ups that soon has the clan on the run from both the cops and a nosy concierge, forcing them to eventually reconcile a stable home life with one of crime.
