Successful top manager Antoine, nurse Claire, and successful film director Paul, who broke ties with his family many years ago, gather in their childhood home for their father's funeral. Three days in the parental home — three acts of family drama. The meeting is accompanied by turbulent explanations. All three take turns narrating from the first person, remembering — in different ways — their shared past, tossing around quotes and memes from their favorite movies and songs, arguing, reconciling, confessing to old sins. Paul catches crossfire from accusations: he draws the plots of his films from his family's history, inflicting deep wounds on his loved ones. Hidden grievances spill out in the clashes, the life and love of each come under review. Olivier Adam is a popular novelist, screenwriter, and playwright, winner of prestigious awards, including the Goncourt Prize for novella. Many of his books have been adapted into films. “Under the Roses” is the first publication of the famous French author in Russian.
