HONOUR YOUR FATHER
Paul, an apparently stable 28-year-old, decides to kidnap his father, the famous author L�o Shepherd, as L�o is travelling by motorcycle to Stockholm to accept an important literary prize. Paul had gone to meet his father to congratulate him but L�o rebuffed him. A confrontation ensued and it quickly turned into an abduction. For several days the world believes that the writer has met a mysterious and untimely death en route. In fact, somewhere between the Alps and the Baltic, the two men are journeying together, exchanging threats and blows, harassing each other, taking each other's measure. Accusations alternate with confessions. They make solemn promises which are no sooner made than broken. In the end they succeed in dealing with the uncomfortable past, with that precise element of it that took place 20 years earlier and whose secret had always united them. And in doing so Paul will learn that the role of favourite that his sister Virginia had always occupied in their family is not necessarily one that he should have envied.
