Agathe (Isabelle Huppert) is a cold and emotionless ice queen. François (André Dussollier), Agathe's long-term partner, has put up with her all of these years. They are not married, but they live together in a bourgeois Parisian flat with their son, Adrien (Donatien Suner). Despite their fabulous financial and social standing, their household -- which is tyrannically ruled by Agathe -- is a loveless one. Agethe and François' gravest concern is the fact that Adrien did not inherit their intellect and drive, so he is flunking out of school. Unable to test well, Adrien is destined to be sent to a trade school; which essentially means a demotion in social class -- a fate worse than death for someone like Agethe. Since the school will not budge on their testing policies, Agethe and François' sole remaining hope is Adrien's intelligent and cultured best friend Tony (Corentin Devroey).
