Synopsis
“Whether you love or hate him, you’ve only got one father. So it’s better to love or hate him while he’s alive because afterwards it’s too late.”
Léo has tried everything to get David and Max, his oldest sons, to make up. He even invited them to his 70th birthday without letting either of them know that the other would be there. But what a disaster that turned out to be! He’s given up.
Léo was a traveling salesman, often on the road. He believes that he’d raised his three sons to respect family values and feels unjustly rewarded for his efforts. And God knows just how hard it was to raise them alone after his wife’s death. Is he being selfish? Is it too much to ask for a little affection and even some gratitude from his children? Obviously, if their behaviour is anything to go by. He more or less has to make an appointment to see David for more than three minutes. Okay, being a CEO is a taxing job, but not every boss avoids his family to this degree. And Max, he’s been unemployed since...
