Pierre has been
furious with his brother Paul since the latter stole his
fiancée away from him ten years ago. Nothing in the
world would induce him to see Paul again. Yet, his life
depends on it: he needs an urgent liver transplant and Paul
is one of the few people whose blood type is compatible
with his.
Marie, Pierre’s
wife-to-be, encourages him to try everything to persuade
his brother to give him a piece of his liver. With this
aim in mind, he even accompanies Paul, sales representative
for Thalasso products, on his sales tour of the Atlantic
Coast. During this reunion, punctuated with endless explanations,
arguments, break ups and patch ups, both brothers are mutually
enriched by exchanging their views about the foundations
of life, which is to say, cars, baldness, bar hostesses,
fitted pants and seaweed soaks…
None of this distracts
them from their main – and opposing – objectives:
Pierre wants to convince Paul to accept the operation and
Paul wants to find a way of escaping it.
