The Dunce

Laurent has a conflictual relationship with Rodolphe, his father, and both are too shy to express their mutual affection. While Laurent tries to rebuild his relationship to his dad, Rodolphe has but one obsession: meeting Marguerite again, the first love of his life. After a life in the spotlight of French cinema for almost half a century, director Paul Vecchiali has returned with a highly autobiographic film.
