Miron, a young delinquent man (played by Robert Naylor (actor)) leads a party life in a 1990s Montreal and fails in school. His parents, David and Thérèse (by Patrice Robitaille and Julie Le Breton), both university professors force their son to follow them to the countryside in the hope that the remoteness of the city's distractions will allow him to concentrate and eventually succeed in high school. Meanwhile, David and Thérèse have marital issues of their own with the rift widening between the two as the summer days progress.
