Everything begins at the end of the century, in other words now. On the eve of the year 2000, Arthur (24) meets up with his girlfriend Lucie. She really wants to have a child but Arthur doesn't feel he's ready to become a father just yet. During a wild New Year's Eve party, Arthur has a disturbing experience. He finds himself carried 70 years into the future, face to face with an old man who claims to be his son... This 70-year-old son shows him his home, his family, his life and explains to him what Paris has become by 2070. By revealing the unexpected future, this son hopes to convince Arthur to have a child.

Original and funny vision of the future. Cedric Klapisch convinces me that he is not an overrated director. The film starts off at a fast pace at a party in the style of the future welcoming the year 2000, then the plot slows down and the ending is brilliant again. I laughed out loud several times, Paris in 2070 in sand and with cars that only have rear parts and are driven by animals, it's perfect. I'm adding a star for the unique idea.
