One of the most successful foreign films ever shown in the U.S., La Cage Aux Folles is a wildly hilarious French farce - giddy, unpretentious and an entirely loveable film that was remade as The Birdcage. When young Laurent returns to exotic St.Tropez, he bears big news for his beloved father, Renato. Laurent has found the girl of his dreams and they are engaged! What's more, she and her family are on their way over for dinner at Ranato's home to meet the in-laws-to-be.

This traditional meeting of families seems typical, but because this ultra-conservative family will be expecting to meet Renato and his wife, they'll never be prepared for the shock of meeting Renato and his flamboyant, campy, outrageous lover - and drag-queen - Albin! So in a great effort to please his son, Renato asks Albin for the performance of a life time... setting up an unforgettable evening that is charged and ready to denote an explosion of zaniness and absurdity.
