La dernière fugue -- Film Description:
"Une belle mort illustrates the life of a traditional family reunited to celebrate Christmas in the presence of the father who, in the past, was violent and authoritarian and now suffers from Parkinson's disease and a poor heart. In front of this diminished man, his devoted wife, children and grandchildren all try to create a festive atmosphere. Beyond the father, whose only pleasure is food, are the bonds between André, the son, Sam, the teenage grandson, and the mother, so small yet omnipresent, which are at the heart of the story and its repercussions."
