Three separate stories all concern the relationships between adult children, their somewhat distant parent (or parents), and each other. Each of the three parts takes place in the present, and each in a different country. Father is set in the Northeast U.S., Mother in Dublin, Ireland, and Sister Brother in Paris, France. The film is a series of character studies, quiet, observational and non-judgmental. A comedy, but interwoven with threads of melancholy.

Des frères et sœurs séparés se retrouvent après des années de séparation, obligés de faire face à des tensions non résolues et de réévaluer leurs relations tendues avec leurs parents émotionnellement éloignés.
