Synopsis

For half of his life, Nicolas, the director, used the camera as a confidant to film his video diary. This intimate film shows the strong and, at times, dysfunctional relationship that binds Nicolas to his mother and sister after the death of his father. His sister Tamara gets married and moves away from home; he is then left alone with his mother and her expectations for a "successful life". which he cannot fulfill. His mother fears that he will be a failure. "Your life is such a Fiasco!" She tells him tenderly as he does not show any interest in finding a wife. But Nicolas is carrying a fear that she knows nothing about.
