Description :
Henri Devilliers, eighty years old, lives in a quiet neighbourhood in Brussels. He endures a monotonous daily routine, divided between his television and the weekly visit from his son, Jean. Jean works a lot and wishes he had fewer problems to deal with?starting with his elderly father. He has therefore decided that it is time for Henri to move somewhere he no longer has to worry about him: a care home. But Henri has no intention of going along with this plan. To thwart his son's decision and preserve his freedom, he is ready to do whatever it takes?even if it means plunging his life into chaos.

With humour and sensitivity, La petite annonce offers a sharp and insightful look at our society and the place it grants to our elders.
