Caught between his manic-depressive brother and a father afflicted with
a neuro-degenerative condition which is as funny as it is worrying,
Romain can no longer go on being what he has always been: someone who
will do what is asked of him without flinching. Now in his
thirties, it is high time that he faced up to his deranged father,
cynical brother and his own habit of repressing his emotions, so that
he can at last lead a normal life...
