""Rémy, divorced, in his early fifties, is hospitalized. His ex-wife Louise asks their son Sébastien, enjoying a successful career in London, to come home. Sébastien hesitates; he and his father havenʼt had much to say to one another in years. He relents, however, and flies to Montréal with French fiancée. Upon his arrival, Sébastien stops at nothing to obtain a clear picture of his fatherʼs state of health and help make things easier for him during the difficult times ahead. He uses his wits, cajoles his family and friends, shakes up the system and even resorts to bribery in order to bring a greater measure of comfort and hapiness into his fatherʼs life. In the meantime, relatives, friends and lovers stop by Rémyʼs bedside to offer their support, settle their accounts... and reflect on their own lives. 17 years later, the decline of the American empire continues"--boîtier."
