The last days of Emma Blank (De laatste dagen van Emma Blank) (2009)

An ailing head of a family lives out her last days as queen of her domain with her entire family playing out their roles in her crackpot vision of what the good life should be.
The comedy comes from watching how badly people react when they are forced into creatively, uniquely bad situations.

You may watch this with Glen Goei's The Blue Mansion, as a "family drama as political allegory" double-bill.
