Suddenly, he slips into an imagined life — one where he pursued dance, met Julie, discovered tango, and faced the tension it brought to his band. Between regrets, dreams, and confrontations, Fred realizes he never truly had to choose between rock and dance. J’aurais dû... is an introspective drama about missed choices, memory, and the courage to reinvent oneself.
