Summary

Vincent, a successful forty-something, is about to become a father for the first time. His sister invites him to a dinner party at her beautiful apartment in Paris, with her academic husband and his childhood friend.. Whilst waiting for Anna, his stylish younger spouse who is always running late, his cohorts gleefully bombard him with questions on his fast approaching fatherhood. But when his hosts ask Vincent what name he has chosen for his future offspring, his response plunges the family into chaos.. Winner of Best Supporting Actress (Valérie Benguigui) and Best Supporting Actor (Guillaume de Tonquedec) and nominated for Best Film at the César Awards.. "CRITIC'S PICK! Uproarious!" - The New York Times. "Frequently delightful, full of ribald humor and compelling, intelligent debate." - Inkoo Kang, Village Voice. "Delivers the laughs! A lively take on love, friendship and baby-naming that should titillate audiences." - The Hollywood Reporter
