A middle-class French clan celebrates a birthday with a meal at a favorite bistro, where family history, discord, collective and individual animosity, and memories collide in a mix of colorful characters, raw emotion, humor and sharp dialogue. Based on a play written by co-stars Agnès Jaoui and Jean-Pierre Bacri and directed by Cédric Klapisch (who's also in the film), Un Air De Famille speaks volumes about dysfunctional families.
