Vincent is overjoyed to be having a child for the first time. As the duate date approaches, he and his partner Anna have chosen a name. Invited to dinner at the home of his sister Elsabeth and brother-in-law Pierre, he runs into Claude, a childhood friend.

Vincent has a habit of telling jokes in questionable taste. One of them will lead to some brutal and very unexpected revelations. In short, a family affair.

The show is all in French, with no subtitles.


IMPORTANT TO KNOW

Doors open at 6:30PM and close at 7:15 (no entry will be permitted after 7:15 PM). Plan your transportation and parking accordingly.
