Secrets de famille
“The house is the setting for happenings where sex and debauchery are the causes of the problems. Adultery, incest, jealousy, accidents and scandal ... all the right ingredients for a veritable Cadinot thriller.”
Synopsis
Serge-Henri Frikard-Meskin - a property developer never out of the news - lives with his second wife, Maggy, and his two children from his first marriage, Charles-Edouard and Pierre-Alexandre, in a sumptuous villa in the south of France.
