Plot – A sudden and unexpected winter reunion takes place for the Tanenbaums family. The parents, Royal and Etheline, have divorced after three childbirths: Chas, an international finance star, Margot, a successful play-writer who had already received a full scholarship in high school, and Richie, a three-year consecutive winner of the USA juniors tennis nationals. The success of the three children seems however to be set aside by the disasters created by the father in the last twenty years.
