The Noble Family (Spanish: Nosotros los Nobles) is a 2013 Mexican dark comedy film directed by Gary Alazraki, starring Gonzalo Vega, Luis Gerardo Méndez, Karla Souza and Juan Pablo Gil, with Ianis Guerrero, Carlos Gascón and Mario Haddad in supporting roles.
Located in modern Mexico city, "The Noble family" tells the story of wealthy mexican businessman Germán Noble, and his three grown children, Javier, Bárbara, and Carlos.
Being always busy at his job, Germán doesn't realize that his kids are doing nothing with their lives, while carelessly spending his money. He never touches the subject, for he attributes their attitude to the depression the kids feel in the wake of their mother’s death.
Though Javier works in his father's construction company (in theory), he spends most of his time partying with friends. When not socializing, he dreams up unrealistic, and often, impossible, projects that are often mocked by his father's business partner, Anwar Karim. Hoping to motivate Javier, Germán tells him he plans to leave the company to him in the future, and so he charges Javier with bigger responsibilities. Javier, instead, flies to Miami with his friends, leaving a subordinate to take his place at a very important business reunion.
Bárbara is a socialite about to get engaged to Peter, a man 20 years older than her, who’s left several failed businesses in bankruptcy. He’s hoping that Bárbara’s trust fund will help him pay off his enormous tax debt. Germán is against said engagement, but Bárbara pays no attention to him and starts planning the wedding
Carlos, Germán’s youngest child, is a hipster that has been expelled from college for being caught by the dean having sex with Lucía, one of his teachers.
Germán’s frustration finally leads him to a heart attack. While in the hospital, he decides to give his children a lesson and a taste of the real world. He tells them that union troubles and an embezzling partner have led the government to freeze his assets and that, as shareholders of the company, the whole family could end up in prison. Germán convinces them to hide and cut off all contact with friends and relatives (to protect his charade), and move into a dilapidated house his father owned in a modest area of Mexico City. The children will also have to support themselves, which means getting jobs for the first time in their lives.
