Syskonen Branck samlas på familjens gods inför sin mors födelsedag. På den stora dagen måste de alla visa upp en prydlig fasad inför bruksinvånarna som kommer för att gratulera modern. Stämningen är spänd mellan syskonen, som sällan befinner sig på samma plats om de kan hjälpa det. Den frispråkiga Isabella sitter inne med många hemligheter; Lars-Olof låser in sig i sin ateljé för att producera medioker konst; Viktor fortsätter att leva ungkarlsliv långt efter sin bröllopsdag; och Stellan trånar efter Clara, Viktors vackra fru.

Born in Nice to Algerian parents, Mourad is fuelled by the desire to forge his own destiny. His retired father spends his days fixing up things in the backyard; his mother, bemoaning the loss of her natal village in North Africa. Mourad lives in fear of becoming an overweight bachelor with salt and pepper hair, living off his mother's cooking. When Mourad’s father has a stroke, he makes his son promise to reconcile things with his estranged sister Dounia, a staunch feminist and aspiring politician, who had always felt constrained living at home.
