Synopsis
A bankrupt son decides to off his ailing father for the insurance money. At the last moment, he can't go through with it, and after the father disappears from a hospital, joins with his estranged brothers--one a successful lawyer, the other a professor--in tracking the old man down. Roving the streets of Nice, the trio quest into their father's past and strangely find their own love for each other renewed along the way. The would-be patricide makes a discovery that changes his life utterly...
