When Armand's son, Val, becomes engaged to the conservative Barbara, the couple faces a dilemma: how to navigate the starkly different backgrounds of their respective families. Val urges his father and Albert to conceal their true identities and present themselves as a straight couple when meeting Barbara's morally conservative parents.
