## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Here's a film that asks what could go wrong when middle-aged men go on holiday together. A cancelled flight reroutes Yves's 50th birthday celebrations to his family home in rainy Brittany, where simmering tensions soon boil over. It's not quite 
"eat pray love" but it is a film that exists.

**Mood tags**: cozy, playful
