Court métrage d’animation sur les remises en question existentielles d’un homme au bord de la crise de la quarantaine. Bob est dentiste. Le jour de ses 40 ans, tout lui paraît soudain moins rose : ses patients l’importunent, ses amis l'ennuient, son futur l'inquiète. Quel sens donner à sa vie? Durant ce temps, sa femme lui prépare une fête-surprise. Mais qui de Bob, de Martine ou des invités sera le plus surpris? Une cascade de rires qui guérit de tous les maux de l'âme!

Discuss differences in expectations between guests, wife and Bob. What holidays are experienced differently by some people, despite expectations of society? How to act when someone is sad? Activity: In groups, students each tell a story about something amusing that happened to them or someone they know. They make drawings, comic strips or collages. One person from each group tells his/her story to class. Discuss what makes a good storytelling performance and what visual art adds.
