These inseparables are not birds but members of a family ,a mother and her three children ,three immature persons who have not found themselves yet.

Robert is a failed actor who has to make do with very small supporting parts ("you were in the TV film last night ,but I did not see your name on the magazine" )He's got a chip on his shoulder ,which can be explained,if we are to believe him ,by the harshness of his late father; he cannot even stand a meal in a restaurant with his family ,and finds solace with an old couple ("I wish you were my parents!")

Gisèle is one of her friends' husband's lover ;she urges him to leave her to no avail ;a rather selfish woman, she often acts as a substitute mother to her brother who is her senior and finds it hard to bear.

"Momo" ,who still lives with mom , is a mentally retarded man ;because he does not realize his state ,he may be the happiest in the family ,a simple-minded person who enjoys choosing a dish on the menu of the restaurant ,and contemplating the fish swimming in the aquarium.

The mother is a woman who frets ,because none of her children is married ,and her hopes of a grandchildren are not fulfilled ;besides ,at seventy -five, she knows that her days are numbered ,and what will become of "Momo",when she has gone?

What has fate in store for such losers?

Needless to say , the actors are impeccable: Darroussin is ideally cast as this actor down on his luck who sees his live passing him by;Catherine Frot is a very credible false ' big sister" ;but Daniel Isoppo is perhaps the stand out in a thankless part of this idiot who thinks his brother Robert is "De Niro".Short appearance by Maurice Garrel and Francine Bergé ,as the "adoptive " parents.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
