Story
On the eve of his 42 years, Antoine Meliot has everything that you can dream of - a loving wife, two children, loyal friends, a beautiful house in Ivelin and a good financial situation. But one day, for an unknown reason, he decides to end his comfortable life.
At first he breaks his further career. Returning home, he confirms the accusations from his wife’s betrayal and tells her that he wants to put an end to his family life. When the children present him with his drawings as a birthday present, Antoine severely criticizes their work. Later, he behaves rudely with friends who have prepared a gala dinner in his honor. No one understands what is happening to him.
Having quarreled with everyone, Antoine leaves home. He goes to Roundstone , where his father lives, a rude and lonely man. Their relationship is complicated, but they try to get along with each other. One day during fishing, the father finds out the secret that Antoine hides.
