SUMMARY
Adrien, a mechanic from a small Quebec town on the banks of the St. Lawrence, had been hoping for a kidney transplant for 5 years. Meanwhile, his life is on hold. He tried his best to maintain his garage, his relationships, despite the hours spent several times a week on dialysis and his energy waning due to his illness. But hiring a young man from a distant village in the garage triggers a series of upheavals in Adrien's life that will reveal him in unexpected and disturbing ways.
