En Attendant Bojangles

Under the gaze of their son, a couple dances to Nina Simone's Mr Bojangles. Their love is magical, dizzying, a perpetual celebration. In their home, there is only room for pleasure, fantasy, and friends. The one who sets the tone, who leads the dance, is the mother, an unpredictable and extravagant will-o'-the-wisp. One day, however, she goes too far. Father and son will do everything to avoid the inevitable, to keep the party going, no matter the cost. Mad love has never been so aptly named. Duration: 1h20
