Film Synopsis
Jean Cottard, 38, is a cop with literary ambitions. Living in Lyon, he hasn't seen his family, who live in Paris, for several years, not since the death of his mother. One day, he receives a letter from his father and decides to visit the capital - it will be an ideal occasion for him to show his manuscript to a publisher. Upon his arrival in Paris, Jean is struck by how much his family have changed. His father is now living with another woman, Julia, and appears aged and disillusioned. His sister Hélène is more cynical and loves to play games with her husband, who involves himself with his shady dealings. Worst of all, his young brother Benoît has become a drug addict. Jean is surprised to find that his father is mixed up in the trafficking of forged paintings and his stay in Paris soon turns into a police investigation...© James Travers
