Synopsis
A bourgeois family -- including domineering matriarch Madame Menard (Claire Maurier), rebellious daughter Betty (Agnès Jaoui), unambitious son Henri (Jean-Pierre Bacri) and his financially successful yet perpetually nervous brother, Philippe (Wladimir Yordanoff) -- assemble at a restaurant to celebrate the birthday of Yolande (Catherine Frot), Philippe's timid wife. As the evening wears on, bitter sibling rivalries and decades-long grudges and slowly reveal themselves.
