How My Mother Gave Birth to Me During Menopause

2003 | Comedy, Drama

Synopsis

Jean-Charles, a young man about to turn 30, lives in a large house in the Montreal suburb of Outremont with his mother and his sister, both public library employees. They form a close-knit family, but Jean-Charles feels more and more smothered by the two women, who treat the majority of men with contempt, with the exception of Rasoir, the lover that the mother and daughter share between themselves. Jean-Charles confides in Marlène, a psychologist with whom he is in love, without realizing that she repeats everything he tells her to his mother. Then one day, he falls madly in love with Cassandre, to the consternation of his mother, who doesn't welcome the arrival of this intruder into their small clan.
