Family... Can't live with them, can't spend the holidays without them.

Acclaimed screenwriter Daniele Thompson (Cousin, Cousine, Queen Margot) makes her directorial debut with this smart comedy about a dysfunctional family thrown together at Christmastime.

When Yvette's (Francois Fabian) second husband suddenly dies days before Christmas, she turns to her three daughters from her first marriage; Louba (Sabine Azema), Sonia (Emmanuelle Beart), and Milla (Charlotte Gainsbourg); to console her during the holidays. Not wanting their father to be alone, Louba invites him to Christmas dinner, f-rcing their parents to speak for the first time in 25 years. As their complicated lives converge, secrets are revealed that will test their loves and loyalties.
