It's summer 1979 in Brittany, and a family gathers to celebrate the grandmothers 80th birthday. The extended family are a garrulous collection and there's a hint of tension in the air, as the Skylab is rumored to return to earth during the same weekend in either Brittany or Perth. This hilarious multi-generational comedy is seen largely through the eyes of 10 year old Albertine playing perhaps the character of a young Julie Delpy. The adults behaviour is always colourful, often outrageous. Director, and star Julie Delpy shows a loving, guiding hand throughout proceedings. The cast represent the very finest of young, and vintage French acting talent (Eric Elmosnino Summer Hours, Gainsbourg, Emmanuelle Riva LAmour, 3 Colours Blue, Valerie Bonneton Summer Hours, Little Whire Lies) , and the joie de vivre of the gathering is infectious. Skylab is a funny, tender and occasionally irreverent look back to the end of the 70's, to childhood, and to summer holidays.
