Successful top-manager Antoine, nurse Claire and successful movie director Paul, who broke off relations with his family many years ago, come to his childhood home for his father's funeral. Three days in the parents' house - three acts of family drama. The meeting is accompanied by stormy explanations. All three take turns in the first-person narration, recalling - in different ways - the common past, interjecting quotes and memes from their favorite movies and songs, quarreling, reconciling, confessing old sins. Paul gets caught in the crossfire of recriminations: he draws the plots of his movies in the history of the family, causing deep wounds to loved ones. In the clashes spill out hidden resentments, the life and love of everyone is subjected to revision.
Olivier Adan is a popular novelist, screenwriter and playwright who has won prestigious prizes, including the Prix Goncourt for the short story. Many of his books have been screened. "Under the Roses" - the first publication of the famous French author in Russian.
