Synopsis

Castro was once a star on the small screen, but now he's just an old glory in decline. Today he must relax and forget all the events that are taking place in his professional life to go, with his driver Manu, to the inauguration of the new home of his productor and friend Nathalie, who has just moved to a beautiful place on the outskirts of Paris. The innocent visit will make him face Hélène again, sister of Nathalie and his ex-wife, since she is invited to the party as well. In his youth, Castro and Hélène shared the same ideals and dreams, but when he started working on television, success made him a cynic. The presenter will try to maintain his composure and hide his profesional failure from everyone. Meanwhile, his daughter Nina will appear at the celebration with a book dedicated to the love story of her parents and Hélène will desperately try to impose an Afghan refugee on her program.
