Synopsis

Anthony is almost 80 years old and mischievous. He lives alone in his London apartment and refuses each of the nurses that his daughter, Anne, tries to impose upon him. Yet such a necessity is becoming more and more pressing for her, as she can’t visit him every day anymore: she has taken the decision to move to Paris to live with a man she has just met…
