Story
“No matter whether you love him or hate him, you only have one father. It’s better to love him or hate him while he’s alive,” says first-time director Michel Boujenah. Widower Léo (Philippe Noiret) has raised his three sons to live happy lives. In actual fact, they are all discontent and on bad terms with one another. But Léo refuses to give up. Pretending to be terminally ill, his “last wish” is for them all to go away together, confident that all will turn out well in the end. But Leo is not the only one with a huge lie in his luggage. A thought-provoking comedy on paternal love and hate.
