Plastic surgeon Michel Saint-Josse is on his way to Spain where he hopes to spend a stress-free holiday in a luxury hotel with his teenage daughter Vanessa. When his car breaks down near a camping, Michel accepts the offer of help from an extrovert gigolo camper named Patrick Chirac. Whilst their car is being repaired, Michel and Vanessa agree to stay in Patrick’s well proportioned tent, not knowing that, thanks to a series of mishaps, it will be their home for several days...
Acting
Franck Dubosc commits fully to Patrick's desperate horniness.
Production

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This launched a franchise of three sequels and made 'camping' slang for tacky holiday behavior in France. The 2016 sequel reunited the cast a decade later to diminishing returns.
Franck Dubosc based Patrick's voice and mannerisms on actual campers he observed in the Vendée region, method-acting his way through France's most chaotic holiday destinations.
