Nominated for nine Césars, and a smash hit last year at the French box office, Bezancon's engaging, bittersweet drama zooms in on the life of a middle-class French family one character at a time, focusing on five pivotal moments that changed their lives and that of the family as a whole, starting with the day their son Albert (newcomer Pio Marmaï) moves out to live on his own. As events unfold individually for Marie-Jeanne, Robert and their three children, the film shows the consequences on the other members of the family and the way they relate to each other.

This lively and fun drama is full of life, energy and humour. Like in any family, the teenagers have ups and downs and are trying to discover who they really are and what they really want. At the same time, the parents are also locked in their day to day life and are desparate to break free.

The characters are sympathetic and colourful. It's an amzuzing family saga in which the ideas of ageing, rebellion and family loyalties are all explored with great accuracy and fun. You'll love it.
