Forty year-old Jean-Luc is a successful gerontologist living in the wealthy Parisian suburb of Versailles with his beautiful wife Isa. On the surface, Jean-Luc appears to have everything one could want from life, however the unexpected arrival of his long estranged father (Maurice)promises to shatter Jean-Luc¹s façade.

A quiet yet lively man, Maurice abandoned his wife and two young sons years ago, without any apparent misgivings, to practice medicine in Africa. Upon his sudden return, Maurice is quick to view his older son¹s life and world
with a detachment that verges on cruelty, and it isn¹t long before he profoundly disrupts the fragile and truly imperfect bourgeois lives of Jean-Luc and those around him.

In the face of a father who charm, disgusts and rejects him, Jean-Luc can no longer avoid confronting his own past. Secrets are revealed, and the crisis triggered by his mysterious father will alter things forever.
