Overview:
Quebec writer François Agira, despite only writing one novel, achieved almost legendary status. Living off his royalties, he indulged in a hedonistic lifestyle. However, as he approached his sixties, the novelist began to face challenges with impotence and financial difficulties. Returning to his two sons, Paul and Patrick, Agira found himself in a stark contrast. Paul, a laid-back individual, followed in his father’s footsteps and was working on his first novel. In contrast, Patrick, a rigid senior executive at a pharmaceutical company, embodied the opposite. Agira moved into the dilapidated family home with Paul and his girlfriend, Sylvie, a waitress. Despite continuing to party, his life took a dramatic turn when he discovered he had cancer.
