Synopsis

Guillaume and Caroline have decided to end their marriage, so they throw dice to determine who gets what – the apartment, the car, their best friend. But when it comes to deciding who will keep their five-year-old son Daniel, they conclude it is he who has driven them apart – and decide to do something about it. Their absurd attempts to rid themselves of their “problem” colour a very black comedy about the very real issue of parents who put their selfish wants ahead of caring for their children.
