The head of a huge family, Edouard, has finally had enough of his philandering after his second wife, Jeanne, gave birth to a child. Edouard's daughters go through their own emotional shock waves when the marriage between them falls apart. While Sidone is married to a musician but shudders at the thought of playing in front of others, Dina, who is in a relationship with writer Paul, wants more from life on a daily basis. Seven years have passed, and Edouard is now critically ill. The family discusses their concerns, aspirations, and anxieties.
