action
The politically liberal professor and writer Jean-Étienne Fougerole, who lives with his family in a luxurious property, makes the case in his latest book Come in! for the reception of homeless and foreign people in France. In an argument that he conducts live on television with a conservative opponent of his views, he spontaneously lets himself be carried away to promise to accept unconditionally needy Roma in his villa. Soon afterwards, the homeless man Babik and his Roma family, who lived in shabby conditions, asked him to enter his property. Much to the displeasure of his wife Daphné, Jean-Étienne lets the family go. The family usually calls Jean-Étienne by the name Walk in. She then lives in her caravan, which is parked on the previously manicured meadow in front of the villa. Babik's family also keeps an adult pig as a pet there. While the Roma are enjoying their stay, the Fougeroles find it difficult to accept their customs and traditions. The Fougeroles' marriage is put to an even harder test when the toilet in the caravan fails and the Roma use the toilets in the villa. Nevertheless, a friendly relationship develops between the two families. Jean-Étienne's TV opponent soon made it public that a man from the Roma family is not a Rome at all, but a French. Meanwhile, Jean-Étienne's son Lionel falls in love with Babik's daughter. You are violating Babik's ban on premarital sex. While Jean-Étienne accepts the love of the two, Babik is initially angry about the sex. But he soon changes his mind. Finally, Lionel, tired of the orderly life in his father's villa, marries Babik's daughter in Romania. Lionel's parents take part in the lavish wedding with joy.

reception
French newspapers were not particularly fond of the film when it was first published and judged it to be racist . A reviewer for the Le Monde newspaper, for example, found it the most unpleasant of the three films in which the director deals with migrants who have come to France . Among other things, the figure of the Roma father Babik is characterized by racial stereotypes such as a three-day beard and metal teeth. In Le Parisien it was said that the film failed to avoid racism. Babik and his family would be portrayed increasingly hideous, unsympathetic and even scary, and the film would paint a despicable picture of the already stigmatized Roma society. A reviewer for the online magazine Slate.fr called the film 'unacceptable'.
The chairman of the Central Council of German Sinti and Roma Romani Rose said the film reproduced racist and antigypsy stereotypes . Immigrant Romanian Roma would be portrayed as a non-integrable counterculture to western civilization .
The German film magazine epd film judged that the film only treats the issue of racism in French and European society superficially and said: “In vain one wishes that the film dares more, that it is bolder, rawer, more biting with its heroes and the The film service , which feeds the lexicon of international films and which only awarded the film one of five possible stars, also complained about the lack of bite : "The sometimes quite hackneyed social satire explores some shallows of the intellectual upper class is for a biting comedy, however, staged too lame.
