Synopsis
Gaspard Dassonville is 63 years old, but he enjoys a lifestyle of a man half that age. A well-known television producer, he accumulates thirty-something companions and is intent on ignoring all signs of aging. But old age comes crashing down on him: Gaspard is forced to have his father, who can no longer take care of himself, come and stay with him. An untamable old man, Hubert comes to disturb his son's contentment with his illusionary youth. The duo is transformed into a trio with the arrival of Zana, an auxiliary nurse with questionable references and an unbridled imagination. Each fascinated in their own way by this unconventional woman, father and son confront and rediscover each other.

Press Quotes
Behind this simple story, that makes these two wonderful actors meet – Pierre Arditi et Jean-Pierre Marielle, absolutely spectacular – there is a real concern about the place of the Elders in our society.
