Trailer for The Wedding Cake.
When Vincent and Bérengère decide to get married, they do so in the high style of the haute bourgeoisie, from the chateau to the catering, which features a piéce montée—a towering cake, precariously assembled from cream puffs and caramel. On a beautiful spring day, the respective families of the bride and groom arrive in their elegant clothes and their luxury cars. The mother of the bride’s concern with appearances even extends to covering up an unsightly martyr at the church where the ceremony is to be held. But not everything is comme il faut, as becomes apparent when the crusty local priest rushes through the rites and chases the wedding party from the church. What is his problem? Bérengère’s grandmother knows, and when she tells, it sets in motion a chain of events that threatens to bring down a family facade cultivated over decades.
