-Retired watchmaker of the Plateau Mont-Royal (Montreal, Canada), Charles-Henri Lamontagne is a widower and father of many children. Still energetic, authoritarian and stubborn as a mule, he rarely admits his wrongs and tends to control his children's lives as if they were small, which sometimes leads to conflicts that Charles-Henri has a hard time resolving. In the end, it is for fear of being bored that he governs the lives of his sons, daughters, daughters-in-law and sons-in-law in this way.
