WE WERE BORN TO BE HAPPY

For thirty years, Paul has made his family history, and the disaster that was his childhood, the very subject of his novels. An approach that his brothers and sisters did not understand, to the point of not speaking to him for many years. And then comes the time for reconciliation. Paul decides to gather for lunch, in the house that has become his refuge, all the protagonists of his tumultuous existence: his nine brothers and sisters, their children and his own, and even his two ex-wives.
Whoever wants to come will come. And whatever happens, happens.
