Vincent Before Noon by Guillaume Mainguet

A father arrives at his son’s place and interrupts him in the middle of moving house. They have not seen each other for several years and left each other angry. Vincent in the middle of moving, reacts badly to this intrusion. In a few minutes, anger, memories, and entangled points of view overwhelm both men.
