Get to know Alice.

Tous les ans, Bruno fait la route des vins… sans quitter le salon de l’Agriculture ! Mais cette année, son père, Jean, venu y présenter son taureau champion Nabuchodonosor, décide sur un coup de tête de l’emmener faire une vraie route des vins afin de se rapprocher de lui. Et s’ils trinquent au Saint-Amour, ils trinqueront bien vite aussi à l’amour tout court en compagnie de Mike, le jeune chauffeur de taxi embarqué à l’improviste dans cette tournée à hauts risques entre belles cuvées et toutes les femmes rencontrées au cours de leur périple…

In 1983, Oliver Nicholas, at thirteen, is well-poised to enter the precocious teenage world of first-sex, vodka and possible-love in New York City when he is traumatized by the stroke of his housekeeper (and only true maternal figure), a sixty-five-year-old Chilean woman named Aida. What was supposed to be an exhilarating and somewhat fearful rite of passage - diving into the exciting, fast-paced world of first experiences - quickly becomes skewed by an incomprehensible depression, and a house of interior horrors. Surrounded by women - his untraditional, Spanish, photographer mother (more interested in the role of confidante than mother) his sister, a comedic, door-slamming tormentor, marked by her parent's divorce; and Aida, his silver-haired emotional focal point on the verge of death in Lenox Hill Hospital - Oliver struggles to maintain his role as "man of the house" and his sanity.
