Que le Père soit

In a rural French town, a family’s quiet routine is upended when a devout, elderly father faces a life-changing illness. His stubborn faith collides with the realities of aging, care, and dependency, forcing his children to reckon with duties they never anticipated. As the household navigates care schedules, unspoken grief, and lingering resentments, a fragile balance emerges between tenderness and obligation. Small acts of compassion reveal the strength and fragility of familial bonds, while communal neighbors offer support and perspective. Through intimate, measured storytelling and a softly penetrating gaze, the film explores the enduring question of what faith and love demand when time runs short.
