Director:
Arnaud Desplechin
Starring: Catherine Deneuve, Jean-Paul Roussillon, Mathieu Amalric, Emile Berling, Laurent Capelluto Synopsis
Abel and Junon Vuillard have two children – Joseph and Elizabeth.
When their son is diagnosed with a rare life-threatening illness which
only a bone-marrow transplant can cure, Abel and Junon have another
child in the hope of saving him. Unfortunately, the new-born,
Henri, is, like his sister, incompatible and Joseph dies. Years later, Elizabeth
is a successful playwright whilst her brother Henri faces financial
ruin as a result of some dodgy business dealings. Elizabeth
agrees to bail Henri out on condition that he disappears from the
family for good. A few years later, Junon discovers
that she has the same illness that killed her first-born.
Ironically, Henri is a viable donor who could save her life.
Elizabeth’s unstable teenage son, Paul, takes the initiative and lures
Henri back to his old home for what turns out to be an eventful Christmas family reunion...
