Axia films is pleased to highlight the theatrical release of CLASS MOYENNE, directed by Antony Cordier (Cold Showers, Gaspard Goes to Wedding), presented as a world premiere at the Filmmakers’ Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival in 2025. Carried by a choral cast bringing together Laurent Lafitte, Élodie Bouchez, Ramzy Bedia, Laure Calamy, Sami Outalbali and Noée Abita, the film opens this Friday August 14 in Quebec.
Mehdi plans to spend a quiet summer in the sumptuous home of his in-laws. But upon his arrival, a conflict breaks out between his fiancée’s family and the villa’s guardian couple. As Mehdi comes from a modest background, he thinks he can lead the negotiations between the two parties and bring everyone to their senses. However, everything is getting worse
Co-written by Antony Cordier and Julie Peyr, based on an original screenplay by Jean-Alain Laban and Steven Mitz, CLASSE MOYENNE takes the form of a satirical portrait of class relations which recalls the filmmaker’s first feature film, Cold Showers, presented at Cannes in 2005. A satirical comedy that is both cruel and delicious, CLASSE MOYENNE is carried by a cast who shines brilliantly and accurately in the roles of two completely opposite families.
MIDDLE CLASS is distributed in Canada by Axia films and opens this Friday, August 14, 2026.
