Le Prenom (What's In a Name?) and the Philosophy of Names

[Spoiler alert.]
Le Prenom was this year’s opener for the 18th French Film Festival held at Greenbelt 3 in Makati. The film revolves around a dinner invitation by Elisabeth to her brother Vincent, who is expecting a baby boy.

Bickering brings forth shocking revelations in their lives.
