Louis, in his early forties, has three kids, a wife who loves her job and is a happy stay-at-home dad. A choice he never regretted. But when divorce papers arrive in the mail, he knows he is in for a fight, a much bigger fight than if he was a stay-at-home mom.

Louis is a busy but blissful stay-at-home dad. It was his choice to take care of the children to help his wife, Axelle, further her career. Between the hyperactive twins, their precocious younger sister, housework and the novels he translates, it's certainly not a relaxing job. But he has no regrets.

One day, seemingly out of the blue, his wife asks for a divorce. He is ordered to leave the house before January 1st. Looks like a happy New Year... How could they have drifted so far apart? How can she possibly imagine that he will give up his role as caregiver and homemaker without a fight?

Full of humor, verve and tenderness, this bitter-sweet family comedy tackles the taboo of gender equality when traditional roles are reversed in a household.
