What's in a Name? ( Le prenom )

A.k.a. "Le prénom". Vincent (Patrick Bruel), a successful forty-something Parisian businessman, is about to become a father for the first time. He is invited for dinner at the apartment of his sister, Élisabeth (Valérie Benguigui), and brother-in-law, Pierre (Charles Berling), where he catches up with his childhood friend, Claude (Guillaume de Tonquédec). Whilst waiting for his wife Anna (Judith El Zein), who is always running late, Vincent's cohorts gleefully bombard him with questions on his fast approaching fatherhood. But when his hosts ask Vincent what name he has chosen for his future offspring, his scandalous response plunges the evening into chaos!
