Every year again - Christmas with the Coopers

One thing is for sure: Christmas is celebrated every year - even by the Coopers. And as always, they do their best to hide all their problems and personal weaknesses for the sake of a harmonious Christmas celebration in front of others: Charlotte and Sam are preparing for their roles as perfect hosts, striving to surpass the idyllic scene of a Christmas postcard - however, their marriage is currently in a serious crisis after 40 years. Their already divorced son Hank, the father of two boys and a virtuously swearing four-year-old girl, hasn't told anyone that he was recently fired. Meanwhile, his sister Eleanor wants to avoid the constant questions about her single status by charmingly sidestepping them with a soldier she met briefly at an airport bar.
