Synopsis
Dominique is a domineering and possessive father who runs a pet store with his sister : Pet Paradise. When his already abusive relationship with his wife Cathy spins out of control, he flees with their children Clarisse and Ferdinand.
Ensconced in a luxurious ski resort on the other side of the border, he creates a fantasy world to win back his kids, who nonetheless love him unconditionally.
