Three brothers, with the appendix of Carine, the wife of Simon, and find themselves in a car bound for the campaign, invited to a family wedding in which no one has the slightest desire to participate. In the narrow cabin, the atmosphere is electric soon. While Simon, mock absorbed in the guide, trying to keep calm with which he always kept at bay the two sisters with hot pepper, are locked in a struggle with blows of caustic jokes and subtle provocations of "his women": Carine, even in scientific how to sit, and Lola and Garance - from the lives of the sister so much deadwood as that is predictable - that make a common front against the intruder.

pounds lighter, carefree, sweet. A bit of nostalgia when you're small and was joined by brothers and sisters. Over time, the fate divide, by choice, for distances, for misunderstandings.
But we reach a point where you find yourself always and is the most beautiful moment, where everyone talks about and shares ..
A nice interlude, where you can smile reading the steps in the plot.
Cute and funny. The writer
