A Happy Family Life

Manfred, a lathe operator, and Manuela, a seamstress, marry and try to find happiness together. They have two children in quick succession and realize that their simultaneous material advancement is beyond their strength. Marianne stops working and Manfred's position in the company deteriorates. The atmosphere between the two becomes more irritable, even more so when Marianne finds a new job. She becomes increasingly distant from Manfred, who is suspicious of her emancipation, and ends up sleeping with another man. But the two move towards each other and, after five years of marriage, find their way back together.

Heads or Tails

Four couples. They form a circle, are of different nationalities and live in the big metropolises of the world. They are beautiful--a famous painter, a fashion model, a song star. When their profession forces them to move to a city where one of the couples of the circle lives, they share not only their apartment, but also one or the other spouse, as the case may be. Every year, it's a ritual, they all meet for a two-to-three week holiday with one of the couples. This year, they meet in Quebec, in a villa in the Laurentians, near a lake, far from civilization.

Make Room for Tomorrow

Four generations of Oppenheim men gather in Paris for Isaac's 90th birthday. He's "Romeo," still a lady's man, waiting to hear from a woman to whom he has proposed, threatening suicide if she says no. They gather at Isaac's grandson's, Ben, who lives with Peggy and their son Mathias who's 10. Joining them, from Israel, is Isaac's son Elie. Against a backdrop of Elie's attempts to call his ex-wife, Ben and Peggy's marital difficulties, Mathias's budding sexuality, everyone's love of chess and practical jokes, Ben's house (shifting dangerously on its foundation), and the twentieth-century struggles of the Jews, the film explores their relationships and Isaac's aging.
