Henry, 60, is waiting for a heart transplant. His wife, in an effort to protect him from a heart attack, moved with him and their adolescent daughter to a cottage to have absolute peace. But their son David arrives for the holidays and is not alone. He would like to discuss his life situation with his father, but his mother prevents him from doing so, because he is afraid that it could upset his father. But is the concern about his health really the real reason why he forces his children to lie to his father?
