What Is The Husbands, the Wives, the Lovers About?

The premise of The Husbands, the Wives, the Lovers without spoilers.

During the summer holidays, a group of women stay in Paris while their husbands and children vacation on the sunny island of Ré.

The children seem the only ones who can rise above the childish summer frenzy.
