Les Tuche is a 2011 French comedy film directed by Olivier Baroux.[3][4] Three sequels had been released since the first opus.

In the film, a perpetually unemployed lower class family wins a fortune in a lottery. The nouveau riche family then attempts to fit in with the upper class in Monaco.

Plot

The Tuche family is the stereotypical unemployed lower class French family.

Jeff (the father) is the proud descendant of the unemployment welfare inventor, and has never worked a day in his life. Out of his 3 kids, the youngest one seems to be extremely intelligent. This will come in handy when all of a sudden, they win €100 million in the lottery, and will attempt to fit in Monaco's upper class.
