What happens

Neuilly Yo Mama! (French: Neuilly sa mère ! [nøji sa mɛʁ]) is a 2009 French comedy film directed by Gabriel Julien-Laferrière. It stars Samy Seghir as a beur teenager who moves from the housing projects to the upscale neighbourhood of Neuilly-sur-Seine. Because of its use of social inequality as a comedic device, it has been compared to the 1988 French comedy Life Is a Long Quiet River (La vie est un long fleuve tranquille). A sequel, titled Neuilly sa mère, sa mère!, was filmed in 2018. A word-for-word translation of the film's title is "Neuilly his/her mother!". The title is a play on the vulgar French insult nique ta mère ("screw your mother"), in which Neuilly effectively serves as a euphemism. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
