Synopsis
Alexandre Najjar’s father was celebrated in the legal profession for his rare eloquence. In the courtroom the word is everything, and his work was his life. He was also the father of six children, punishing them severely when they broke the rules. Behind this harsh exterior, however, lay an affectionate man, brimming with humour and curiosity. Then, a sudden heart attack left him wheelchair-bound and painfully deprived of the eloquence for which he was so well respected. But the love of his family would help him overcome this trying time. A poignant and loving tribute to a father from a son.
