La Cage aux Folles

Unexpectedly, Georges’ offspring of a casual one-night stand arrives, and announces his engagement. This is fine, apart from the fact, that his beloved is the daughter of the extremely conservative Sen. Dindon and the father-in-law-to-be wants to meet the groom’s parents by all means. They have no choice: Georges and his son convert their frivolous flat into a decent catholic home, but that is not enough: they have to send Zaza away. As they can’t manage that, all hell breaks which results in hilarious comedy and happy end, of course. The film adapted from the play was making a great hit in Hungary, too, and the Broadway opening in 1983 was the biggest sensation of the year.
