A divorced, middle-aged woman’s grown twin sons, hitherto as close as two peas in a pod, begin acting up and taking sides when she announces her intention to sell their family home in order to open a B&B with her new boyfriend, in Lafosse’s restrained and beautifully acted if never entirely convincing family drama.
