Romain, a 30-year-old photographer, suddenly learns he has only a few months left to live. He reacts with a fury, which he vents on his family and later his boyfriend, without divulging to them the reason for his behaviour. Grandmother Laura is the first to hear his confession. Melvil Poupaud carries the film beautifully and gives a performance that is both affecting and .
un-self-pitying, morphing from a fit, athletic young man to an emaciated invalid who learns to face the inevitable with grace and wisdom. The legendary Moreau offers a magnetic cameo.
