Valentin D. es un arquitecto y diseñador de éxito que finge ser huérfano porque se avergüenza de su familia, unos chatarreros de clase obrera del norte de Francia. Solo su pareja, la pretenciosa Constance Brandt, conoce su secreto. En plena inauguración de su retrospectiva en el Palacio de Tokio, sus familiares aparecen inesperadamente: su hermano Gustave, su cuñada Louloute y sobre todo su madre Suzanne, que cree acudir a una fiesta sorpresa por su 80º cumpleaños. El reencuentro promete ser inolvidable.

Henry can't control himself : he's got to cheat, con, plot. It's not his fault, it's his nature ! Underhand deals, compromise, lies, and betrayals are the daily lot of this guitarist for provincial village dances. And he has no qualms about anything : getting his depressed sister committed, ripping off his mother who's grief-stricken after the death of her companion, compromising himself with an extreme right-wing party.
During a couple of minutes spent next an agitated sea, various generations from different ethnicities play successively the iconic balcony scene from 'Romeo and Juliet', the flawless tragedy written by William Shakespeare.
