Monsieur Papa is a 2011 French comedy film directed by Kad Merad. The story centers on a 12-year-old boy named Marius Vallois, who belongs to a wealthy family and is the son of a successful CEO named Marie Vallois. Although Marie loves her son unconditionally, Marius struggles with the fact that he has never known his father. As Marius begins to perform poorly in school and starts shoplifting, his mother decides to recruit a father figure for him. She encounters Robert Pique, a peculiar man with a background in finance who makes ends meet by ironing clothes for his neighbors. Robert is initially reluctant but eventually agrees to take on the role. In addition to directing the film, Kad Merad stars alongside Michèle Laroque, Vincent Perez, and Gaspard Meier. The film, which has a runtime of one hour and thirty minutes, is noted for its connection to a 1976 novel of the same name by Patrick Cauvin.
