Life for Real

Tridan Lagache has spent his entire life at a Mexican vacation resort, where he was born and eventually worked as an animator. At 50, he leaves the club for the first time to travel to Paris to find Violette, a childhood love from the resort's mini-club. Upon arriving, the inexperienced Tridan stays with Louis, a half-brother he never knew existed. Wanting to get rid of his guest, Louis convinces one of his partners, Roxane, to pretend to be Violette, a deception that Tridan believes immediately.
