An endearing and heart touching story about Michael, his relationship with his father, his daughter, his wife, and his own mortality as he returns home after 25 years. Bitter, disappointed, and stubborn Michael must come to terms with his health and the future of his daughter, Chardonnay, and tries to make amends. His regret for not being by his mother's side when she dies of cancer haunts him and his fear of being alone, the future of his daughter, and the everlasting goal -- to be loved and remembered as a good father, husband, son, and human being. Petite Chardonnay will take you places in your heart and mind where you don't want to go, but while there, you will not want to come back.
