    What better time to find out you have a brother you never knew about, than the holidays!
    This is a humorous French movie about a family that discovers secrets about each other and about themselves just in time for Christmas.
    I thought it was strange that all the Christmas songs ...( read more)were in English though.
    The three daughters Louba, Sonia, and Milla all lead different lives but come to understand each other more after their step-father dies.
    Louba sings at a Russian restaurant (beautifully by the way) and is having an affair with a married man for the past 12 years.
    Sonia is rich and snobby and while everyone thinks she is perfect, her marriage is falling apart with its own affair.
    Milla is the youngest and the most rebellious. She says she tends to scare men off when she just wants to be loved.
    This movie is really funny.
    Even though their father has slept with a lot of women and produced a son he thought he kept hidden from his family, he still wants a happy Christmas.
    If you like movies about dysfunctional families and want to watch one that is more comedy than drama, you might enjoy this one!
