Dodging the Clock

Original title: Horloge Biologique

Three men in their thirties are confronted with their respective spouses’ desire to have children. They are all at different stages of the project: Sebastien is already the father of an eight-month-old boy, Paul’s wife is already pregnant, while Fred is in no hurry. What follows is a series of situations in which our three protagonists are simply looking for happiness and tranquility.

How to react when friendships change, when the circle closes on this small cell that is our new family, when we feel that it is the end of our youth. Dogding the clock, a dramatic comedy about fatherhood and the male instinct.
