The Successor

Ellias Barnès (Marc-André Grondin) has just been named artistic director of a famous Paris couture house when word comes that his father has died of a heart attack. He flies to Quebec to settle the estate, a man he has not seen in years. Xavier Legrand adapts Alexandre Postel's novel, and what Ellias inherits turns out to be more than a fragile heart: the question of how much of a parent a child can leave behind.
