Synopsis
It is a bad day for the Mousse family. Rebellious and angry, seventeen-year-old Victor dabbles with drugs and petty theft. His sister, Christie, is getting married that afternoon, but her father has gambled away the money for the reception. Sonia, the long-suffering mother, is the glue that holds the family together, but even her patience is running thin. Struggling to get by in the suburbs of Paris, she sticks up for her troubled eldest son, reassures her soon-to-be-married daughter that everything will work out, and manages to wrangle her totally irresponsible husband.
