Simon is the Mayor of a town in the French Basque Country, and the kind of person who does everything he can to gather his scattered family, even when the other family members are not so interested. His older daughter’s birthday will be the perfect excuse for him to put his suspicions about his wife’s infidelity on the table. This is the starting point for a family crisis that’s full of accusations and clashes.
"Wolberg’s Family" is Axelle Ropert’s first feature film; she previously directed the medium-length film "Purple Star" in 2006.
