Vincent is overjoyed to be having a child for the first time. As the duate date approaches, he and his partner Anna have chosen a name. Invited to dinner at the home of his sister Elsabeth and brother-in-law Pierre, he runs into Claude, a childhood friend.

Vincent has a habit of telling jokes in questionable taste. One of them will lead to some brutal and very unexpected revelations. In short, a family affair.

The show is all in French, with no subtitles.
