Hélène has devoted her life to promoting and preserving the work of her uncle, the renowned painter Paul Berthier. When she suddenly dies, her forty-something children return home to ensure her last wishes are respected. Past tensions and family grudges slowly come to light, forcing the trio to face far more than just a funeral. Juliette Binoche, Charles Berling and Jérémie Renier lead a stellar cast in this deeply touching and beautifully photographed drama, directed by Olivier Assayas (Irma Verp, Les Destinées).
