Summaries

When their father dies, Louise, Fabien and Estelle feel helpless as they confront the task of taking care of their schizophrenic brother Jacques. For Louise, the experience will be life-changing.

Jacques is schizophrenic. A grown man, he lives alone with his elderly father in a ramshackle house in the countryside and spends his days chain-smoking cigarettes, watching old American movies on TV, and getting wasted on beer. When the old man suddenly dies, Jacques' siblings - Louise, Estelle and Fabien - are confronted with the burdensome question of what to do with their brother. A hard look at the dark reality of living with a psychotic disorder... for both the sufferer and their loved ones.—Happy_Evil_Dude
