A bittersweet ensemble comedy about three struggling brothers reunited by their mother's death, balancing humor derived from their misadventures with underlying melancholy about failure and family bonds.

Three brothers are reunited on the occasion of the death of his mother. The three are in a difficult stage of their lives due to economic difficulties: Bernard is a failed actor, Didier pretends to be a professor of philosophy when, in fact, is selling sex toys and Pascal lives off a rich sexagenarian. Accompanied by Sara, the teenage daughter of Bernard, they live surprising encounters while new problems appear.
