Plot

Paul hates his father because he was too strict with his son. One day Paul says to his father that he would prefer never to have been born and to live happy and carefree in the glorious 1960s. Paul is immediately satisfied by fate, and finds himself transported back into the 1960s, when his father was still a child. Paul immediately realizes that he desired nonsense from destiny, and tries to replace his trouble, knowing a young man (his father as a man), trying to make him fall in love with the girl of his dreams (the future mother of Paul).
