Louis (Gaspard Ulliel) is a successful writer. After a long absence, he returns home to tell his family that he is terminally ill. At the lunch table are his sister Suzanne (Léa Seydoux), his brother Antoine (Vincent Cassel), his sister-in-law Catherine (Marion Cotillard) and his mother (Nathalie Baye). What was meant to be a final get-together turns into an afternoon of fiery dialogue and intensely palpable tension.
