Weekend Movie - Poltergay

Camp Haunted House Comedy

The newlyweds Emma (Julie Depardieu) and Marc (Clovis Cornillac) just moved into their bargain home at the outskirts of Paris. The old Villa had been empty for 30 years and it doesn’t take long for things to get spooky…

While Emma is away on an archaeological excavation, Marc starts hearing Boney M songs and is having sights. Nobody believes that Marc is seeing ghosts. Especially gay men only. His family and friends believe Marc is either crazy or gay or both. After accidently attacking his father in law, Emma moves out and, always late to work, Marc also loses his job.

He soon learns that his house used to host an underground gay disco. One night in the 70s, a faulty foam machine had electrocuted five of the most notorious dancers of the club. Their bodies have never been found and the poor souls are trapped. They are good guys though and Marc starts to get along with them. When he realizes that only people who never had a sexual encounter with a man can see the ghosts, he tries to win back Emma.
