Plot
Aurore celebrates her 70th birthday surrounded by her friends and four grown children: the eldest Jean-Pierre is the father of a family and wine representative, Juliette is a French teacher and dreams of career as a writer, Margaux is a freelance photographer, and Mathieu is single at 30 years old. Since the death of their father, Jean-Pierre naturally assumes the paternalistic and benevolent role with his siblings.
