Synopsis
Mikaël, twenty years, visits his sick grandfather in the countryside. The stay does not enthuse him. His mother obliged him to come thinking that he would not have another chance to see him. When he discovers the old man, he notices that he kept all his urge to live. While, in the lounge, his mother and his two aunts quarrel to know in which old people's home to intern him, the grandfather takes advantage of his grandson to run away with him, in search of Mathilde, a youth love
