May 68: Pierre Bouillard, 25, is staring at Boulevard Saint-Germain, in the Latin Quarter, where angry students have been ripping cobblestones out of the street and turning them into projectiles for days now. Unlike his twin brother, Fabrice, who’s thrilled with the wind of freedom blowing through the city, Pierre doesn’t know what to think about the chaos reigning in Paris...

Both young men are just getting started in their adult lives. First choices, first decisive encounters. Pierre has already started a family. And since the death of their father, Fabrice is supposed to be running the family business.

Both of them are trying not to yield too much to their tyrannical mother, who incarnates the past, with her bourgeois values and unshakeable prejudice.

Rooted in recent history – with its mutations, revolutions and its hopes for living happily ever after – Fine Expectations describes the passions and evolution of a French family.

Parisian twins Pierre and Fabrice turn 25 in the midst of the student uprisings of May 68. Sons of the upper middle class, with a domineering mother, will they manage to make their dreams come true?
