Pour cette raison, de nombreux délinquants sexuels vivent sous des ponts ou dans des bois – ou dans le parc à roulottes Florida Justice Transitions – connu sous le nom de Pervert Park.

75-year-old Dr. Nathaniel Shellner has led an extraordinary life as a psychiatrist, working with traumatized patients fleeing war zones in refugee camps, earning himself a Nobel Prize for his work. After having one child, Leonard, with his wife, Lillian, the Shellners elect to adopt the remainder of their family from the camps where Dr. Shellner worked. Ultimately, the Shellners incorporated five children from all over the world into their family – Tommy, Julie, Harry, and twins Sylvia and Sasha. As Dr. Shellner lies on his death bed on a frigid, icy day on the fringes of New York City in suburban New Jersey, the family convenes at the house where the couple raised the children for a final, bittersweet farewell to a sensational and inspiring public figure. Or, that's the idea, until all hell breaks loose after Tommy arrives and accuses his father of adopting his children, not out of concern for their future well-being, but to use them for some warped psychological experiment.

Comédie fantaisiste : la nuit dans une maison de repos pour agités, un surveillant emprunte sans autorisation la Cadillac de la directrice pour conduire au bord de la mer deux jeunes pensionnaires de l'asile. La directrice, femme autoritaire et revêche qui terrorise son mari, oblige ce dernier à voler un camion-citerne, et la poursuite commence. Les pourchassés et les poursuivants traversent la France, depuis la région parisienne jusqu'à Nice. Tout en s'occupant du bien-être de ses passagers auxquels s'ajoute bientôt une charmante auto-stoppeuse, le surveillant devra multiplier les ruses pour déjouer ses poursuivants, échapper aux agents de l'Ordre public, amadouer les automobilistes vindicatifs dans les embouteillages comme sur les pistes d'autos-tamponneuses ; il devra se montrer patient et compréhensif face aux commerçants, restaurateurs, hôteliers et faire preuve de talents de négociateur, de sauveteur en rivière, de funambule, de jongleur. Lancé à sa poursuite, le couple directorial va hériter des mêmes rencontres, multipliant à son tour gaffes et quiproquos. Dans une scène poignante qui est un des sommets du film, les deux époux finiront par reconnaître leurs véritables sentiments. Pendant ces extravagantes péripéties, le conducteur du camion-citerne vit la non moins difficile expérience de tenter d'entrer en contact téléphonique avec ses employeurs, un été où le téléphone de l'asile n'est pas au meilleur de son fonctionnement.
