A family's quest to make sense of their shared history. A bittersweet exploration of love, loss, and the chaos of sibling relationships. When family bonds are tested, humor and heartbreak collide.When adult siblings Serge, Jean, and Nana embark on an unexpected road trip to Auschwitz and Birkenau, they take along one of their daughters and plenty of complicated family history. The solemn journey quickly devolves into a tragicomedy of personal grievances, combative banter, and awkward confrontations. Acclaimed novelist and playwright Yasmina Reza masterfully portrays the messiness of family life—where love and resentment intertwine, and the weight of shared history looms large. Serge is a richly layered tale that is as reflective as it is humorous—simultaneously a meditation on memory, an exploration of our love and hate for those closest to us, and a testament to Reza’s gift for finding humanity in chaos.
