Victor (Fanis Mouratidis) is expecting his first child. His sister Élisabeth (Vicky Stavropoulou) and her husband Pierre (Hristos Hatzipanagiotis) invite him, his wife Anna (Maria Konstantaki) and their childhood friend Claude (Antonis Loudaros) for dinner. While waiting for Anna, who is late as usual, and talking of cabbages and kings, at some point the conversation revolves around the baby and Victor reveals that it’s a boy! When asked what name he has chosen for the child, his answer will upset the group and cause a series of uncontrollable chain reactions that will result in total chaos! Secrets well-hidden for years are now revealed. Lies which “protected” relationships and friendships come to light.  And the play’s motto is confirmed: a child brings happiness. But the name that you will give him... may bring big trouble.
 
The comedy “The given name” (Le Prénom) is one of the biggest theatrical successes in France and has been nominated for six Molière awards. Its film adaption has also met the same enormous success and has surpassed 2.5 million tickets sales internationally.
