Laurent Perrier has made an irreversible decision. Not out of despair — but out of deep conviction. Before he leaves, he wants to settle his affairs and make sure nothing is left unresolved. So, he summons his daughter to his country house. But just as the situation is already tense enough, a stranger knock at the door — and with him, whatever family peace remained is shattered. Between this unexpected visitor, a will that is bound to make waves, and a neighbour who refuses to let go, what was supposed to be an orderly exit quickly descends into chaos. By trying to control everything until the very end, Laurent sets in motion exactly what he was hoping to avoid — and forces everyone to confront a question most people would rather ignore: who does our life belong to? A warm, insightful human comedy about the weight of secrets, awkward expressions of love, and the right to choose.

  • “Rémy Girard shines in a dramatic comedy caught between laughter and tears.” – Cinoche.com

 

  • ★★★ “Denise Robert and Louis Bélanger give a platform to some of our greatest actors.” – Le Devoir

 

  • “Fully committed to the project, with undeniable chemistry, the cast narrowly avoids overacting […] the film is also carried by contemplative stretches set to the gentle score by Martin and Simon Roy.” – La Presse
