The comedic story of a love triangle with a delightful ironic twist, Gazon Maudit introduces us to Laurent and Loli, a happily married couple with two beautiful children. Laurent is a successful businessman who runs a real estate agency in the South of France, while his wife Loli spends her days as a housewife. Unbeknownst to his adoring wife, Laurent is an avid philanderer with a long line of extra-marital affairs that he has managed to keep from his wife. One day Laurent and Loli's seemingly harmonious lifestyle is disrupted when a woman's camper breaks down in front of their house; the woman, named Marijo, shares only one thing in common with Laurent: They both like women...
