You Don't Choose Your Family

Here's a movie about the many forms a family can take, mostly comedic. César, an Italian car salesman, gets involved in his sister's adoption plan in Thailand to solve his own financial woes. Naturally, things don't go as expected with the local police and Triads getting involved. It's mostly just a lot.
