Trendy, stressed-out Elisabeth lives with her rich, businessman husband Bertrand. Next door live Véro and Jérôme, whose house is on the market and who are so broke they don't know whether they can afford the tuition for their teenage son Loïc. Elisabeth has them over for dinner with her friend Julie, a single mother who was left stranded by the father of her child. By the end of the evening they've all decided to vacation together in Elisabeth's childhood hometown by the sea. Bertrand seizes the opportunity to duck out of the trip, claiming work as an excuse. Meanwhile, his daughter Émilie will be spending her first vacation away from her parents, in Chicago, with "a girlfriend" who turns out to be one of her father's employees, Kevin. In an attempt to save face because they can't afford the hotel, Véro and Jérôme claim to have rented a luxurious villa, when they are actually staying in a grungy trailer park with their son, who has to bear the constant bickering. As Elisabeth and Julie settle into their suite with Julie's insufferable baby daughter, other guests are checking in: Lulu and her compulsively jealous husband, Jean-Pierre, and Maxime, an inveterate womanizer with a wife back home. Meanwhile, in Chicago Émilie is initiating Kevin into drugs and videotaped sex, and in Paris Bertrand is in bed with his lover, an Asian hermaphrodite barely older than his daughter. The fun has only begun...
