Forty-year-olds face off amid plot twists, comic lines, friendship, resentments, and deep bonds.<\/p>\n
Forty-somethings confronted with plot twists, comedic lines, friendship, grudges, and deep bonds. <\/p>\n
A convivial evening at the home of two professors (high school for her, university for him) openly leftist. Among relatives and friends a game of provocation and truth begins that expands to become the portrait of a generation: between petty meanness and great feelings. <\/p>\n
One evening like many others among five forty-year-olds. All belonging to the middle bourgeoisie. Besides the hosts, there is her brother who is a real estate agent and his partner who is late because of a work commitment with some Japanese, while the single friend (suspected of being homosexual) is a trombonist in a symphony orchestra. <\/p>\n
That evening, the brother announces to the group that he is going to be a father. Congratulations, kisses, and hugs. Then the usual questions: will it be a boy or a girl, what name will you give him? <\/p>\n
The future dad has no doubt it will be a boy; but the shock arises when he announces the name they have decided to give to the child.<\/p>\n
