What happens

L'Harmonie familiale est un film français réalisé par Camille de Casabianca, sorti en 2013. René sort de l'hôpital psychiatrique ; Victoire quitte Sciences Po ; Béatrice et Jean partent de Gif-sur-Yvette tandis que Casimir remonte d'un bar louche et Émile descend d'un « cloud ». Agitée de sentiments contradictoires, Laurence s'apprête à recevoir la petite famille qui converge chez elle pour un réveillon de Noël où l'on a décidé de ne pas se faire de cadeaux.
