When Paul decides to give up his boring but steady office job as a banker, this does not go down well with his children. Their dad wants to pursue his dream and become an actor. Is it a burnout? A midlife crisis? His youngest daughter Zoë is the only one who believes in her father. She encourages him and joins him in his adventure.
