This Canadian drama chronicles the adventures of a young man who journeys from Montreal to Istanbul to convince his pregnant girl friend to keep her baby and start a family with him. For most of his 27 years, Andre has been Peter Pan, spending his days carousing with his friends. Lately he and his brother Armand have been trying to set up a bungee-jumping business. His girl friend Kim goes to Istanbul on a six-month contract and it is from there that she tells Andre that she is going to abort the baby he didn't even know she carried. Andre is terribly upset and so sets off to stop her. Along the way, he visits his mother in Paris, has a one-night stand with an Italian woman, and drives a motorcycle across Croatia. In the midst of it all, Andre tries to deal with the painful moral ramifications of the situation. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
