Synopsis

Romain, a handsome young man in his thirties, only thinks about his work and never reveals his emotions. He can't manage to "flirt" with girls. His older brother Luc, who has become a screenwriter, is homosexual and never stops putting his brother down. However, the two brothers get along better than they seem to. Their father has a neurodegenerative disease and must be placed in a specialized institution. This ordeal will allow Romain to better understand himself as a man.
