LES INVASIONS BARBARES

Rémy, divorciado, 50 años y pico, está hospitalizado. Louise, su ex mujer, llama a Sébastien, el hijo de ambos, que vive en Londres. Sébastien se lo piensa; hace tiempo que él y su padre no tienen nada de que hablar. Por fin decide volver a Montreal para ayudar a su madre y apoyar moralmente a su padre. Nada más llegar, Sébastien remueve cielo y tierra, hace uso de sus contactos y sacude el sistema para hacer más llevadera la enfermedad de su padre. Se le ocurre volver a reunir a la alegre pandilla que marcó el pasado de Rémy: parientes, amigos y ex amantes.

Rémy, divorced and in his early fifties, is hospitalized. His ex-wife, Louise, asks their son Sébastien to come home from London where he now lives. Sébastien hesitates; he and his father haven’t had much to say to one another for years now. He relents, however, and flies to Montreal to help his mother and support his father. As soon as he arrives, Sébastien moves heaven and earth, brings his contacts into play and disrupts the system in every way possible to ease the ordeal that awaits Rémy. He also reunites the merry band that marked Rémy’s past around his father’s bedside: relatives, friends and former mistresses.
