 Gradually succumbing to dementia| George Laurent| the octogenarian patriarch of the Laurents| an affluent upper-bourgeois family| is uncomfortably sharing his
palatial manor in Calais| the heart of the infamous migrant jungle| with his twice-married son| Thomas| and Anne| his workaholic daughter who has taken over the
family construction business. Divorced and frigid| Anne has to handle the impact of a disastrous workplace accident caused by her disappointing son Pierre's
negligence| while at the same time| the urgent hospitalisation of Thomas' ex-wife from a mysterious poisoning| leads his sulky 13-year-old daughter| Ève| to live
with her father and his new wife| Anais. Undoubtedly| in this family| everyone has a skeleton in the closet| and as the fates of the Laurents enmesh with insistent
and ignoble desires| a peculiar and disturbing alliance will form. But in the end| some secrets are bigger than others.
Happy End is far from Haneke's best work, yet it still succeeds in forcing audiences to confront -- and uncomfortably consider -- the dark side of human nature. |
