SYNOPSIS
Michel is an underachieving Belgian inventor who is misunderstood by his employer. However, his life is complicated when he discovers that he was adopted as a baby and was born secretly in a barn in Sainte-Cecile, Quebec.
With a new sense of purpose, Michel heads off to Canada to trace his natural parents. A series of coincidences and a chance encounter with the enigmatic Louis, driving a revolutionary electric car, sets in motion a series of life-changing events. What ensues is a compelling jigsaw where each scene is a new piece of the puzzle.
