When their estranged youngest brother calls for help, five brothers must confront the danger surrounding him and the tensions between them.

The story

In a Jewish community in France, the five Hayoun brothers—Dan, Jonathan, Michael, Julien and David—are part of a close-knit family centered on their widowed mother, Suzy. But the brothers have long been estranged from David, the youngest, since he turned to a life of crime. When David calls them for help because he is in conflict with a clan of Marseille Gypsies, old bonds of brotherhood quickly reassert themselves. Dan, the eldest, assumes leadership as the family faces the danger and tries to defend David’s honor, despite the tensions that have divided them.

Full plot (contains spoilers)

In a Jewish community in France, the Hayoun family—five brothers, Dan, Jonathan, Michael, Julien, and David, gathered around their mother Suzy (Françoise Fabian), the widow of Raymond, the father of the five boys—is a close-knit family. However, ever since their youngest brother David (Vincent Elbaz), the unruly one among the siblings, took to a life of crime, they have long since cut ties with him. One day, David calls his brothers for help because he is in a conflict with a clan of Marseille Gypsies. Their sense of brotherly solidarity immediately resurfaces, and despite the many tensions between them, Dan, the eldest (Patrick Bruel), takes on the role of head of the family to face the danger and save his brother’s honor.
