The Last Days of Chez Nous

After her Italian affair, Vicki moves in with sister Beth, who lives with her teen daughter and new French husband J.P. When Beth vacations with their difficult father, dynamics shift among those left behind. Vicki returns to her elder sister Beth's house in Australia after an affair in Italy. Beth, with a teenage daughter, has become involved in something of a marriage of convenience with Frenchman J.P., and her rather prickly houseproud ways are causing frictions counterpointed by Vicki's more laid-back and indolent air. When Beth goes off on vacation to the outback alone with her cantankerous father to see if they can finally get to know each other, relationships in the household start to shift. —Jeremy Perkins {J-26}
