The Reimmors have just lost one of their own. Faced with this brutal news, each member of the family reacts in their own way: the father hides behind his feelings while the mother hides behind a sheet. The children, on the other hand, are stirring up memories, sincere tributes and dubious jokes.
Tant bien que mal is a story about saying goodbye, finishing sentences and escaping through a police station window. Accompanied by a musician, the impressive actress Marie-Magdeleine tells the story of bereavement, which strikes at the heart of a colourful family. She brings to life a whole gallery of colourful characters. Because "the worst thing is not to be able to laugh about it, or talk about it", she offers us a sensitive tale of insolent seriousness and disconcerting lightness that is both moving and funny.
