Une dernière chose avant de partir

Synopsis of Une dernière chose avant de partir

Drew Silver hasn't always made the right choices. His fleeting glory as a drummer in a rock band, which a single hit briefly catapulted to the charts, dates back almost ten years. Today he lives in Versailles, a residence that welcomes somewhat lost divorcees, like him. To make a living, he has joined an orchestra specializing in wedding ceremonies. His ex-wife, Denise, is about to remarry. And Casey, his daughter, who is about to enter Princeton, has just confessed to him that she is pregnant - and only because of her two parents, Silver is the one she least loathes to disappoint. When he learns that his life hangs by a thread and that only an operation can save him, Silver makes a radical decision: he refuses the intervention. The little time he has left to live, he wants to devote to reconnecting with Casey, to becoming a better man. Meanwhile, under the gaze of his family, on the verge of exasperation, Silver struggles with this existential question, each one strives to piece together the pieces of this disunited family, at the risk of damaging it even more.
