The plot concerns three brothers: Antoine is gay, in his mid-30s, and lives with his boyfriend Adar; Louis, the youngest, is having an affair while engaged to his high school sweetheart; and Gérard, the oldest, has separated from his wife and works for his parents in their slowly failing clothing store. Antoine introduces his friend Ariel into this family dynamic just as each of the brothers tries to come to terms with his failed or strained relationship.
