A successful top manager, Antoine, a nurse, Claire, and a successful film director, Paul, who severed ties with his family many years ago, gather at their childhood home for their father's funeral. Three days in their parents' home are three acts of family drama. The meeting is accompanied by heated explanations. All three take turns telling the story in the first person, reminiscing—in different ways—about their shared past, exchanging quotes and memes from their favorite films and songs, arguing, making up, and confessing to long-standing sins. Paul finds himself caught in a crossfire of accusations: he draws the plots of his films from family histories, inflicting deep wounds on those close to him. In the clashes, hidden grievances spill out, and everyone's lives and loves are reexamined.
Olivier Adam is a popular novelist, screenwriter, and playwright, winner of prestigious awards, including the Goncourt Prize for his short story. Many of his books have been adapted for the screen. "Under the Roses" is the first publication of the famous French author in Russian.
