Synopsis

Remy, a Montreal college professor in middle age, is stunned to learn he has terminal liver cancer. His ex-wife, Louise, begs their long-estranged son, Sebastian—a successful businessman based in London—to come home. Sebastian arrives determined to spare no effort, using his contacts and bending the rules of the Canadian health system to secure treatments and options that seem impossible. As he fights to keep his father alive, old friends from Remy’s past—Pierre, Alain, Dominique, Diane and Claude—are drawn back together, confronting old memories and resentments as they gather around Remy in his final days.
