Synopsis

Montreal, June 1995. Miron is a young delinquent who likes to skip class to party. His parents, both university professors, force him to go to the country with them in the hopes that, far from the distractions of the city, he will be able to focus and finally graduate from high school. A week after arriving at the cottage, he meets Florence, the 73-year-old neighbour. It’s love at first sight for both of them. Miron’s parents, strongly opposed to their affair, forbid him to see his beloved, 56 years his senior. But Miron is determined to be with the one he loves and does everything in his power to see Florence again.
