For this new adventure, the Maudru family will indeed be reunited once again. Aimé, the father, of course—who, as always, will once more try to voice his outrage against a society that's too "modern" for him and that he feels oppressed by. His wife Louise will be there, thankfully, to try and calm him down and bring him back to a version of reality that's a bit offbeat as well, but pragmatic and reassuring: her own. Their nephew Désiré will still be as delightfully unhinged, brilliantly simple-minded, and philosophical as ever: sunshine in August, meat pie with crust!
