Everything begins at the end of the century, in other words now. On the eve of the year 2000, Arthur (24) meets up with his girlfriend Lucie. She really wants to have a child but Arthur doesn't feel he's ready to become a father just yet. During a wild New Year's Eve party, Arthur has a disturbing experience. He finds himself carried 70 years into the future, face to face with an old man who claims to be his son. This 70-year-old son shows him his home, his family, his life and explains to him what Paris has become by 2070. By revealing the unexpected future, this son hopes to convince Arthur to have a child.
Tout commence à la fin du siècle, c'est-à-dire maintenant. Le soir du réveillon de l'an 2000, Arthur (24 ans) retrouve sa copine Lucie. Elle veut absolument avoir un enfant, mais lui ne se sent pas prêt à être père. Au cours de cette soirée de fête débridée, Arthur va vivre une expérience troublante. Il va se retrouver transporté 70 ans plus tard nez à nez avec un vieux monsieur qui lui dit être son fils. Ce fils de 70 ans va lui montrer sa maison, sa famille, sa vie et lui faire découvrir ce que Paris est devenu en 2070. En lui faisant connaître ce futur inattendu, ce fils espère convaincre Arthur de faire un enfant.
