Every Friday night the Menards gather at the restaurant owned by least favourite son, Henri (Jean-Pierre Bacri). In attendance, tonight, are Henri's domineering mother, his still-single sister, Betty (Agnes Jaoui), brother and favourite son Philippe (Wladimir Yordanoff), and Philippe's wife, Yolande (Catherine Frot), who is celebrating her birthday. Henri's own wife is not in attendance, as she has decided to leave him. As the meal progresses and the wine flows, various family tensions bubble to the surface, not least between Betty and her recently jilted boyfriend, Denis, who works for Henri and is waiting on their table.
