Plot

When his boyfriend Guillaume dies at 25 in an unspecified accident, Tom, a young advertising agency editor from Montreal, visits Guillaume's rural community in Quebec to deliver a eulogy at the funeral. He meets Guillaume's widowed mother, Agathe Longchamp, who does not know Guillaume was gay and that Tom was his lover. When Tom agrees to stay at the farmhouse, he is surprised when Agathe tells him Guillaume has an elder brother, Francis. That night, Tom is awakened by Francis, who menacingly says he knew Tom would come, and tells him to give an agreeable eulogy and not to posthumously out Guillaume, to please Agathe.
