Synopsis:

It's the morning Johanna and Benjamin' s wedding, and while the former is in the bath prior to her extensive makeup, the latter is still coming round, covered in lipstick after a night of carousing. Johanna's mom, Gabrielle, fusses about the ceremony at her sprawling home, while Benjamin's more declasse mother, Chantal, prepares for a confrontation with Gabrielle over the cost-sharing. Also on hand are the two marriage witnesses, Valentine and Alex. Their marriage is decidedly rocky, and Valentine is particularly upset when she reveals she's been having an affair for four months and he hasn't even noticed. When she won't tell him who her lover is, Alex calmly clobbers the first man she talks to. One generation up is the marriage of Micky and Hugo, who went through their own firestorm 10 years ago when Micky threatened to leave him. She now submerges her sadness in obsessive caring, while Hugo, who once had a relationship with Gabrielle, drifts around in a well-coifed, philosophical calm.

They are 25 and are getting married today. The witnesses at their wedding are 35, have been together ten years and are splitting up today. Their parents are 45, broke up ten years ago and are trying to get back together today. Three weddings in a wedding, three couples during 24 hours of a wedding celebration that is perturbed just a little bit by everyone's doubts and crisis while tolerant, but stunned, relatives bear witness. How wonderful it is to love, the minister sings courageously at a moment in time when one marriage out of three ends in divorce. One out of three, okay, but which one?

Three couples married for ten, twenty and thirty years respectively going through twenty four hours of doubts and crises.
