In this powerfully emotional drama, the successful novelist Stéphane Belcourt has returned to his hometown for the first time in decades. As a local celebrity, Stéphane has been invited to be the brand ambassador for its famous cognac distillery. On arrival he is stunned to discover that one of the company’s executives is Lucas, the son of his teenage first love Thomas.
