Theresa is a young and talented writer who is struggling to finish her novel. As an attempt to find inspiration and understand her protagonist - a wild and free runaway named Chloé - better, she leaves busy and noisy Paris and heads on a journey to wherever the road will take her.

Three separate stories all concern the relationships between adult children, their somewhat distant parent (or parents), and each other. Each of the three parts takes place in the present, and each in a different country. Father is set in the Northeast U.S., Mother in Dublin, Ireland, and Sister Brother in Paris, France. The film is a series of character studies, quiet, observational and non-judgmental. A comedy, but interwoven with threads of melancholy.

This free-form film is a self-portrait, which revisits more than 40 years of the author’s filmography and questions the major stations of his life, while capturing the political tremors of the time.
