"- I don't have a present for Mom...

- So? You're the present."

Andréa is about to turn 70 and has her whole family visiting her for celebration. There’s her husband, their two sons, one with his family, the other with his new girlfriend, and a young eighteen year-old granddaughter. The only one missing is Claire, who had vanished four years before. However, it doesn't take long before she unexpectedly shows up and brings chaos in tow.
