What it's about

Vincent, a wealthy real estate agent, is invited to dinner by his sister Elizabeth and her husband Peter, both professors in Paris. Claude, a childhood friend and trombonist in a symphony orchestra, is also present. Vincent brings news from the prenatal examination of his and his wife Anna's unborn son.

The dispute between the guests quickly escalates and before long the resurgence of old grudges and hidden secrets is unavoidable...
