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...
