La Quarantaine met en scène un groupe d'amis qui se retrouvent après trente ans de séparation. Le film n'entend pas raconter leurs histoires personnelles, mais faire apparaître à travers eux des problèmes fondamentaux à tous les hommes et à toutes les femmes parvenus à l'âge de la maturité. À partir de situations où famille, amour, fidélité, homosexualité, réussite professionnelle sont en cause, c'est la question plus vaste du rapport que les adultes entretiennent avec leur enfance qui est soulevée.
