Synopsis

On the very day of his marriage to Séverine (Mathilde Seigner), lawyer Antoine (Vincent Lindon) allows his attentions to wander... in the direction of his future mother-in-law Léa (Catherine Deneuve). When he subsequently reveals his interest in Léa, the 50-something career woman insists there is no way they can have an affair. The family is reunited at Léa’s hotel in the Bahamas to celebrate the 70th birthday of Léa’s mother, Nicou, a lesbian who shares her life with the slightly deranged Brigitte. Despite the fact that his wife has just given birth, Antoine is still irresistibly drawn towards Léa, and she realises that she too may be in love...
