The old lady for the sake of

At the beginning of the funeral of the grandfather. The grief is kept within limits, because no one liked. And yet this funeral changed a lot in this family that has become over the years. Because the grandmother, who no longer recognizes his own son Pierre (Jean-Pierre Bacri).
