A warm, bittersweet ensemble piece that unfolds like a series of reunions, mixing gentle laughs with honest looks at love and growing older.

It takes place over three years and is divided into eight parties : New Year's Eve, one housewarming, Midsummer, a wedding, a surprise party, a name of celebration, anniversary and birthday parties.
