Summary
One Christmas, the Klein family get together for a skiing holiday in the Alps.  A snow storm forces them to stay indoors in their hotel.  This appears to be the ideal opportunity to resolve some marital problems and settle some old scores...

Review
An all-star cast (which includes some of the biggest names in French cinema) somehow manages to make this inconsequential film pass for entertainment.   Jean-Hugues Anglade and Jacqueline Bisset are particularly on fine form and provide the film with many of its best moments.

The film is essentially a typical mid-1990s French romantic comedy, rather lacking on substance, being rather overly reliant on the talent and charisma of its cast.

The popularity of the film in France resulted in a mini-series being commissioned for French television in 1998.  This starred some of the actors who appeared in the original film, noticable absences being, alas, Jean-Hugues Anglade and Jacqueline Bisset.
