A butcher has already been brought to his knees by the mad cow crisis, and becomes even more desperate when he learns that his son is sick. But some illnesses help heal other wounds.

"The film is constructed upon the communication between a father and his son. Each one is hiding a part of himself from the other. The father doesn't let his son know about the financial problems of his butcher shop, which have been caused by the mad cow disease. The son hides from his father the fact that he has hepatitis C. The two make projects about the other's life and, through a lack of communication, are wrong about their future" (B. Deville).
