What Our Fathers Would Say

Content : Antoine’s life was turned upside down the day his father, a surgeon, let himself be blamed for a medical error. Since then, his mother has left, and everyday life has become rather bleak.

In this crescendo of violence, he no longer recognises himself. Yet, he still has the chance to fight his way out of this hellish situation.

Pascal Ruter adopts an intimate and deeply moving tone, once again surprising us.
