This is the story of a French Canadian family, through 20 years of happiness and tears. CRAZY is a song, the father's favorite song, who named his five sons Christian, Raymond, Antoine, Zachary and Yvan. Amongst these sons, one is different from the others : Zac, who will have troubles accepting his own nature, but who desperately seeks his father love. The song, and a quest for a rare edition of an album, will serve as a symbol for the quest of paternal love, and on the way to acceptance Zac will learn many things about himself and about his father. Many years pass during which he tries to experiment things in the hope of becoming someone his father would respect. Will he eventually succeed in being himself and being accepted by his father?

Notes
One of the finest films I've seen in a long while. Probably originally watched it about 2013; it was as good as I remembered.
