Goodbye, My Friend
5.5
At 35, Étienne still hasn't forgiven his 'friend' Jean-Pat, who made his life miserable throughout his childhood. When he learns of Jean-Pat's death, Étienne isn't exactly devastated... Yet, despite himself, he finds himself organising the funeral of his worst enemy. One thing is certain: Jean-Pat isn't done ruining his life yet.
