Overview

Gourbi Palace is a Tunisian comedy film that upends class boundaries when a humble poor man saves a wealthy hotel owner from burglars. In gratitude, the rich man invites the rescuer and his entire family to take up residence in his luxurious establishment. What follows is a delightful culture-clash comedy as the unassuming family navigates the alien world of five-star hospitality, opulence, and high-society expectations they have never encountered before. Their fish-out-of-water experiences in their grand new surroundings generate a series of humorous and humanly resonant situations, while gently satirizing the stark gulf between social classes and the absurdity of privilege seen through innocent eyes.
