Synopsis
Now 80 years old, André was once a tap dancer.
He lives with his daughter, Anne, and her husband, Antoine.
Or was André an engineer, whose daughter Anne lives in London with her new lover, Pierre?
The thing is, he is still wearing his pyjamas, and he can’t find his watch.
He is starting to wonder if he’s losing control.
