| Description: | Due to an unpleasant clause in his mother’s will, Claude, a grumpy middle-aged bachelor, who owns a bookstore and admires beautiful things, has had to spend the past ten years living with his father Gaspard, a crotchety old man who has been making Claude’s life unbearable. But the clause will soon be expiring, and Claude plans to place his father in a seniors’ residence. The night before Gaspard is set to move, he tells his son that he has won six million dollars in the lottery, but he can’t find his ticket. At his father’s insistence, Claude agrees to spend three days looking for the winning ticket. Now the fun begins. |
