The film’s narrative engine is a classic comedic trope: the switched-at-birth switch. Due to a vengeful nurse, two babies are swapped twelve years prior to the events of the film. The result is a chaotic inversion of social destinies. On one side is the Le Quesnoy family: bourgeois, Catholic, and politically right-wing. On the other is the Groseille family: destitute, chaotic, and reliant on welfare. The central irony—and the film’s stroke of genius—is that the biological son of the wealthy Le Quesnoys, Momo, has been raised in poverty, while the biological daughter of the poor Groseilles, Bernadette, has been raised in luxury. This setup allows Chatiliez to deconstruct the myth that social standing is a result of blood or inherent worth. Bernadette, raised with privilege, looks down on her biological family with the same disdain as her adoptive parents, proving that class is a performance learned through environment, not genetics.

Yet, where the Le Quesnoy family is cold, the Gros-Dubois are warmly chaotic. Chatiliez’s satire here is gentler but still pointed: their "authenticity" is also a form of squalor, and their rebelliousness masks a deep-seated insecurity.
