A Catholic family road trip to meet the in-laws? God help them all.
Guillaume, 24, a passionate and idealistic young man, struggles to find his place, both romantically and professionally. Between his older sister Charlotte, who supports him financially because she believes in his talent, his overwhelmed parents, and his fervently Catholic younger sister, he refuses to compromise his ideals. Charlotte invites her brother to spend a few days with her fiancé Antoine's father, who lives in a beautiful little village in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region. The two families meet there. The visitors will have a series of experiences that are amusing, tense, and transformative.
