Twenty years ago, Jean-Pierre left home, forcing Louise to raise the kids alone. Marion and Sylvain were 10 and 8. Over the years Jean-Pierre was an absent father, but after reconnecting he thought that time might have healed all wounds. At a dinner on Sylvain’s 29th birthday, Jean-Pierre announces to his children and ex-wife that he has met a 30-year-old woman, who’s expecting his child. He quickly discovers that nothing has been forgotten, much less forgiven. Louise, facing the emptiness of her own life, sees a great injustice. Sylvain realizes he is the only one who will mourn a missed father-son relationship. And Marion, who has been trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant for the last two years, is outraged by the shocking announcement. Jean-Pierre’s happiness is an insult to his first family’s pain, and they blame him for it. It’s a happiness that turns out to be precarious, when his girlfriend, Évelyne, starts to wonder if she really wants to start a family with an older man. Caught in a tangle of emotions, responsibilities and human frailty, they will discover that to be happy, you need to learn to find joy in the happiness of others.
