Synopsis
Pierre is bringing up his two sons alone. Louis, the younger, is preparing to leave for Paris to study, while Fus, the elder, is drifting. He becomes close to extreme right-wing groups that are the antithesis of his father's values. Little by little, love gives way to misunderstanding. An intense, human family drama that tackles a burning issue with great delicacy.
