Giovanni Manzoni is a gangster boss who has been placed under witness protection by Agent Stansfield after betraying the mafia. However, wherever they are relocated and whatever names they are given, they always manage to get themselves into trouble as blending in to their new towns becomes more and more difficult. With their lives under threat from their old pals again, the Manzonis are moved to Normandy in France where they become the 'Blakes'. Unfortunately, they have barely moved one day before the family manage to create chaos yet again, with Mrs Blake blowing up a convenience store in response to a snide comment from the French shopkeeper, the daughter getting into numerous fights and the son in trouble at school for theft and bribery. As expected, they manage to attract attention from the mob and they are forced to fight back to protect themselves in the only way they know how.
This crime comedy has been adapted by director/ writer Luc Besson ('The Fifth Element', 'Joan of Arc') and co-writer Michael Caleo ('The Last Time') from the novel 'Malavita' by Tonino Benacquista. 'The Family' is a hilarious but heart-warming gangster movie with an excellent cast and it is set to be released on November 8th 2013.
