Film Synopsis

Raphaël Kessler is one of Europe's leading television producers.  One day, he is given the manuscript of a book written by his brother, Alberto, recounting their adventures in the 1980s when they ran an independent radio station.  Although Alberto reproaches his brother for exploiting this early success to win fame and fortune for himself at the expense of his collaborators, Raphaël supports the book's publication.  He then decides to invite Alberto and several old friends to his luxury villa in Marrakech to celebrate his birthday.  What begins as a happy reunion soon turns into something much nastier.  Some of Raphaël's so-called friends have a few scores to settle...
