In Barcelona, Spain, four friends are openly gay to everyone who knows them -- except their families. Eva (Julie Gayet), Ariane (Alexandra London) and Nico (Bruno Putzulu) haven't told their parents. Only Camille (Amira Casar) has a knowing and accepting mother -- and it's her idea to invite all the parents to a party at her villa, where the truth will be revealed. But, when the older generation arrives, it turns out they've been keeping secrets of their own.
