A chef in his heyday, Camilo is now a worn-out 50-year-old who works for a cleaning company. We can guess a personal failure in the past of this solitary immigrant settled in Montreal. But Camilo wants to get back on track and the opportunity to rediscover his culinary passion finally presents itself: a former colleague will give him a chance in a cozy restaurant in Baie-Comeau. Everything is in place for this new beginning when Camilo receives a visit from his daughter Tania, with whom he had cut ties because of his drug addiction problems. Tania tells him that he is a grandfather and asks him to take care of the child while she undergoes her umpteenth detoxification. The arrival of this grandson upsets Camilo’s plans: there will be a new beginning for him, certainly, but not the one he imagined.
