Frank, (brilliantly portrayed by Olivier Gourmet), an executive with a Geneva-based company, proverbially has a phone “growing out of his ear”. A workaholic who manages shipping cargo for major corporations on ocean-going charters, Frank is a man of integrity and deep convictions - in a crisis situation he makes a decision that results in his firing. Profoundly shaken by his dismissal, Frank feels betrayed by a business culture that he respected and dedicated his life to serve. The thing that counts now is to preserve his self-esteem and maintain the high regard of his youngest daughter, Mathilde. For weeks, he hides the truth from everybody...

First time Swiss director/co-screenwriter, Antoine Russbach, consciously strives to give his characters great moral depth.
