Close

Milou en mai was filmed at Château du Calaoué, in the Gers département, southwestern France.

Milou's mother dies, at the same time unrest and strikes are sweeping the country. Events interfere with funeral plans; they disrupt the family and a stranded truck driver. The film combines elements of social and interpersonal commentary with farce.
