Paul, Charles, Nicolas, Louise, Eléonore, Jeanne et les autres appartiennent à une même famille. Réunis dans un chalet pour fêter à la fois Noël et l'anniversaire de Louis, le patriarche, ils racontent tour à tour le huis clos dans lequel ils se retrouvent, le temps d'une soirée, coincés par la neige.
