On the last day of November, Paul waits in front of the “Manor of Hope” care home, which is about to close, for his father; adults and children, he thinks, live in completely different realities. Taking home the old man, diagnosed with dementia, is just one more challenge in a long series: his divorce from Mădălina, the loss of his mother, a strange bond with his daughter living abroad, and a paradoxical relationship with his ex-wife, who asks him to rescue her dog, held hostage by the lover she herself has betrayed. Paul tries his hardest to cope with everything at once.
