Summary
Olivier is so wrapped up in his work as a busy supervisor that he
scarcely notices his wife walk out on him. When he realises he
has been deserted, he is furious and is determined that he should have
custody of their daughter, Léa. The court rules in his
favour and Olivier continues to share his house with a rebellious
tomboy who is uncertain about her future. As he approaches sixty,
Olivier realises how precious is his relationship with his daughter...
