When Simon is invited to sleep over at his best friend’s Marius, he can't believe it. Before going to bed, his friend’s father says "I love you" to him
Back home, he hatches all sorts of schemes to trick his father into saying those three magic words. Services rendered, good grades or politeness. Nothing helps! Simon begins to doubt: does his father really love him?
In this album we put ourselves at the height of a child to approach a universal and touching subject: the father-son relationship.
