Les Films Pelléas

the Wolberg Family

He is able to do an amazing speech on American soul to flabbergasted students, to meddle in the private life of his fellow citizens, or even to make his 18 years old daughter swear to never, never ever leave the familial house. This is Simon Wolberg, mayor of a small provincial town, madly in love with his wife, intrusive father and provocative son ! It's the obsession of the family that carries this man. Which pushes him to put these links to the test, to verify their strength and fragility…
