Vihn will get married in a few days.He has been through a lot: at the age of 8, he arrived in Switzerland on his own to meet his adoptive family. When that family fell to pieces years later with the divorce of the parents, he did not tell his biological mother: everything seemed so perfect on the family photo he’d sent to Vietnam 20 years earlier.Every year, the fiction of this perfect world comes back to life at Christmas, when everyone signs the traditional card: “All is fine here and the snow is beautiful…”. A small lie without consequence, or so it seemed……Panic arises when Liên finds out that his mother has decided to pay him a surprise visit for his wedding… After fifteen years of open or hidden fights, Michel, Claire, Jacques and Catherine will have to see each other again, to talk to each other again. And, in order to save appearances, to play the role of the perfect family…
