At the age of fifty, Olivier Dubreuil, the child hero of In my eyes to me, became a successful television host. As the lights and glitter of fame begin to tire him out, he is tormented by strange pains. The verdict falls: he has three months to live. Stunned by the news, he decides not to tell anyone; he embarks on an odyssey that will take him from Montreal to New York, from the bedside of his dying biological mother to the tomb of his unknown father, secret in secret, to a shattering conclusion that will finally celebrate life.
