Édouard, professeur d’histoire à la retraite, bouillant et caractériel, commence à perdre la mémoire. Continuellement sollicité pour procéder à des analyses politiques et sociales, l’homme, qui est habitué à s’exprimer dans les médias, doit soudainement se faire plus discret. Mais Édouard refuse de disparaître et juge qu’il a encore beaucoup de choses à dire. Puisque personne de son entourage ne semble en mesure de veiller sur lui, il est placé sous la garde de Bérénice, jeune fille du nouveau conjoint de sa fille. La rencontre touchante entre ces deux êtres amènera Édouard à revisiter un passage de son histoire personnelle qu’il avait choisi d’oublier.
Based on an original 2014 stage play by François Archambault, who collaborated with Eric Tessier on the screenplay, Edward (Rémy Girard), a retired public figure and history professor, is starting to lose his memory. Used to speaking in all forums, he needs to be more discreet even if he feels he still has a lot to say. Also, since no one around him is able to watch over him, he is placed in the care of Bérénice, a somewhat rebellious and lost girl. Their meeting will lead Édouard to revisit a passage from his personal history that he had chosen to forget, and Bérénice to find meaning in his life.
