Details: Pierre Leduc, a lecturer at Laval University who also spends his time translating the work of of the late Polish poet Edward Stachura, has built his lonely life around books, words and silence. Discouraged by the ignorance of his students, just as he decides to quit his job, his estranged father, a real estate mogul, announces that he’s suffering from terminal cancer and wants Pierre back in his life. He tells Pierre he’s leaving his company to him, but Pierre refuses it outright. At the same time, Adele, a 13-year-old girl, shows up on his doorstep, asking if he’s her father. Having abandoned Adele’s mother when she was pregnant, now faced with his cowardice, Peter denies everything. But reality catches up as Adele is determined to have her father in her life, and his own father, seeing his end approaching, gets Pierre to come with him to visit his childhood home in Bas-St-Laurent. ----- Pierre Leduc est un homme qui n'attend plus rien de la vie. En fin de trentaine, il enseigne la littérature des pays d'Europe de l'Est dans une université québécoise. Solitaire, il se réfugie dans la traduction des oeuvres d'un poète polonais qu'il admire, Edward Stachura, suicidé à 42 ans en 1979. Se sachant condamné par le cancer, son père veut lui léguer sa fortune, gagnée par des moyens discutables dans l'immobilier. Mais Pierre refuse, car il ne veut pas de cet argent mal acquis. Peu après, Pierre croise une femme qu'il a abandonnée treize ans plus tôt lorsqu'elle était enceinte de lui. Cette femme, Nicole, est accompagnée de sa fille Adèle, la fille de Pierre. Pierre évite le contact mais Adèle se met à sa poursuite. Après un refus initial, Pierre acceptera de la rencontrer et admettra sa paternité.
