Divin enfant (2014)
Directed by Olivier Doran

Comedy

Film Synopsis

In a large house surrounded by vineyards a family is gathering for a Christmas get-together that is destined to be their worst ever nightmare.  Sarah, an attractive and lively young woman, has had the bright idea of inviting three of her former boyfriends - Xavier, Eric and Thomas - to spend the Yuletide season with her and her chronically introverted husband Jean.  Sarah's abrupt declaration that she is pregnant doesn't go down as well as she might have hoped, mainly because her husband knows he is sterile and therefore incapable of fathering children.  It becomes apparent that the only way Sarah could have put herself in the family way is by sleeping with one of her ex-boyfriends, but which one?  Xavier rules himself out, insisting that he hasn't slept with a woman for over a year.  From this it follows that the two most likely culprits are Eric and Thomas.  The scene is set for the stormiest of Christmas repasts where anything is possible - even an immaculate conception...
