Synopsis

Continuing seventeen years after Arcand's 1986 film Le Déclin de l'empire américain, the movie is once again much more conversation- and script-driven than by the typical elements of plot. What plot there is revolves around the character Rémy's battle with terminal cancer, and his estranged son's efforts, after reluctantly returning from London at the request of Remy's ex-wife Louise, to make his dying father more comfortable in his last days. He proves willing to go to any lengths to achieve this, and in the process he gathers the various other friends and family members from Remy's past who come to visit and comfort him. It also exposes the many faults of a government run health care system. His son is forced to bribe hospital and union officials to get his father transferred to a better room on a floor that is empty due to government directives. The hospital lacks the equipment his father needs to survive, but his father will not transfer to an American hospital. Like many Canadians, he says that he voted for socialized health care and is prepared to suffer the consequences.
