Synopsis
La Moustache opens with Marc Thiriez, a middle aged Parisian, taking a bath and asking his wife if he should shave off the moustache he has sported for most of his adult life. His wife, Agnès, wryly comments that she wouldn't recognize him without it, yet as she leaves, Marc shaves the moustache off. Upon her return, Agnès is angry Marc did not let her in the door when she rang. Marc lies and says he broke his shoelace. In the car Marc asks his wife if she notices anything. She does not respond, wanting to know if he thinks she is dressed too sexy for the party. Later that evening, as the two visit their friends Serge (Agnes' first husband) and Nadia, Serge tells a funny story from his marriage to Agnès, how she was sneaky and refused to admit it, even when found out. Agnès again denies the sneakiness. Frustrated that Serge and Nadia also do not notice that Marc has shaven his trademark moustache, Marc fights with Agnès in the car as they return home, frightening Agnès. As they lie in bed that night, another fight over the moustache ensues as Agnès digs in her heels and tells Marc he's never had a moustache and that she fears for his sanity. Agnès phones Nadia and Nadia claims Marc has not had a moustache in fifteen years. Agnès takes a sleeping pill to sleep.Actors

Il y est retourné une première fois faire ce qu’il croyait alors être un film documentaire, puis une seconde fois pour enterrer une jeune femme qu’il avait connue là-bas, et qui a été assassinée par un fou.

Junon Vuillard is Abel Vuillard's wife, and the iron-willed matriarch of the Vuillard family. Junon held her family together through many tough times, and although her willpower helped the family survive and prosper, it also has left many bad feelings among her children. Junon is still a handsome woman, and though her husband (who owns a small fabric dying plant) has become obese and clearly aged, he retains a remarkable clarity, acceptance, tolerance, and unconditional love for his family, and it is clear that he and their love for each other is the lynchpin that holds an otherwise fragmented family together, albeit uneasily.

Marguerite Muir is a dentist, single and middle-aged, independent and unpredictable of mood. Georges Palet is in his late 50s, married, and unemployed; he too is temperamental, and burdened by something in his past (unexplained but possibly criminal). When Georges discovers the discarded wallet from Marguerite's stolen handbag and hands it in to the police station, he allows himself to imagine the door opening to a romantic encounter. Marguerite initially has other ideas, but is later drawn towards Georges. Georges's wife Suzanne, Marguerite's best friend Josépha and two policemen are drawn into the entanglement of their lives. Georges and Marguerite share a passion for aviation, which leads to a flight with Suzanne in Marguerite's plane, while a farmer watches apprehensively from below. There is an uncertain resolution of their adventure, and the film ends with an enigmatic question from the farmer's daughter.

Romain est un jeune adolescent atteint depuis sa naissance de Xeroderma pigmentosum, une maladie génétique extrêmement rare qui le contraint notamment à rester à l'abri de la lumière du jour en raison des rayons ultraviolets qui provoquent des dommages à l'ADN que ses cellules ne peuvent naturellement réparer, entrainant irrémédiablement des cancers cutanés multiples. Il est suivi par le dermatologue David Assoland avec lequel il a noué au cours des années une relation d'autant plus filiale qu'il vit seul avec sa mère. David cependant, après une longue carrière au CHU de Bayonne obtient enfin un poste convoité depuis de nombreuses années à l'Organisation mondiale de la santé à Genève. Très attaché à cet enfant, bien que relativement distant de sa propre famille, il ne sait ni ne réussit à lui dire qu'il va devoir partir. Son successeur à la tête du service est une femme, Carlotta Granié, avec laquelle il entretient des rapports conflictuels, ne réussissant pas à passer la main.
