Written by the director, the screenplay centres around a family. Gabrielle (Vanessa Paradis) is a "statue" for tourists, to the great displeasure of her teenage son. Elsa (Camille Cottin) is angry at the whole world and desperate to get pregnant. Mao (Pierre Deladonchamps) is a chronically depressed genius game designer who drowns his melancholy in alcohol and psychoanalysis. They’re brothers and sisters, but have nothing to do with one another. Not at all. It has to be said that their parents, Pierre (Jean-Pierre Bacri) and Claudine (Chantal Lauby), who have long been separated, never really did anything to strengthen family ties. However, when the time comes for their grandfather’s funeral, they have to come together, and reply, together, to the awkward question of "What to do with grandma?" 

Executively produced by Franck Mettre and Stan Collet for Firelight and by Eric Jehelmann and Philippe Rousselet for Jerico (The Bélier Family [+see also:
