The story follows Claude and Marie Verneuil, a conservative Catholic couple from the French upper-middle class. Their peaceful provincial life is disrupted as three of their four daughters marry men from different ethnic and religious backgrounds: marries Rachid, a Muslim lawyer. Odile marries David, a Sephardic Jew. Ségolène marries Chao, a Chinese businessman.

When searching for this film in Spanish-speaking markets, you will rarely find it under its original lengthy French title. The localization strategy for the film was interesting because it changed the focus slightly to emphasize the chaos of the situation.
