He knows her mother has died and wants to come see his daughter after a 35 year absence. Wary and excited both, Marie decides to let him visit her and her family at their country house. Her husband warns her, "You will be disappointed," he says. "You should not bring him here." Nonetheless, she allows her estranged father to come, and is instantly shocked when he arrives. Alain is an artist, cocky and self-assured, a sexy 'bad daddy' who immediately begins to disrupt Marie's quiet country life. At a dinner in his honor Alain feels backed into a corner as he defensively recounts all the reasons why he left Marie and her mother. Later that night Alain commits an act she may not be able to forgive. It is then that Marie must confront the reality of who her father really is and decide if he is someone she wants to allow into her life. Meanwhile, the children of the town put on a production of King Lear. It is here that we understand the deep tragedy of a demanding narcissistic father, not only for the daughter who is cast away, but for the father himself. See less
