About
Acclaimed novelist and playwright Yasmina Reza masterfully portrays the messiness of family, where affection and resentment intertwine and the weight of a shared past looms large.
When adult siblings Serge, Jean, and Nana embark on an unexpected road trip, they take along one daughter and more than enough tangled family history. As Jean watches his older brother fall apart, he tries to hold the center, and what might have been a solemn pilgrimage into the past quickly devolves into a tragicomedy of mutual fixations, private grievances, and the limits of kept company. As reflective as it is incitement, Serge is a testament to Reza's gift for finding light in the abyss.
