At the port of Sete, Mr. Beiji, a tired sixty year old divorced father, forces himself to stay close
to his family despite scissions and tensions which are easily sparked. He is going through
a delicate period in his life, in which everything seems to be
a failure. He sees an escape from
it by setting up his own restaurant. However it appears to be an unreachable dream,
given his
meagre and irregular salary. But he can still dream and talk about it, with his family in particular.
The family gradually reunites around this project, which comes to symbolise the means to
a better life. Thanks to their ingeniousness and hard
work this dream soon becomes almost
a reality...
