Forty-something Quebeçois Philippe Roberge is floundering in his life. He believes that no one listens to him or takes him seriously. A graduate student in Philosophy of Scientific Culture, he has just failed his Ph.D. dissertation for the second time, his theory of interest in outer space being a narcissistic response from man being widely rejected throughout the community. To make ends meet, he works selling newspaper subscriptions. And he has a cordial but basically non-existent relationship with his ex-wife. Philippe examines his life in response to the recent death of his mother coupled with his dissertation beliefs. Although she lived in a care home, he acted as her primary caregiver. His only remaining family is his younger gay brother, André, the two who could not have more different temperaments. As such, they do not get along. Following his mother's death, Philippe's thoughts about his life are influenced by three major incidents: being invited to speak at a major conference in Russia by a cosmonaut who he idolizes, entering a contest on sending messages into outer space, and receiving information regarding the nature of his mother's death. 月亮的两张脸。魁北克法语片：讲述自尊、自恋与自我认知。。 一对兄弟，哥哥是博士班学生，论文仍在进行中，迈入中年却还没迈入社会；弟弟是天天出现在电视新闻中的气象播报员，虽然身为同志，不过社会适应良好，过着中产阶级优渥且稳定的生活。兄弟之间因为不同的人生选择，渐行渐远。《捕月》说的是两人从全无交集、对对方的人生多所责难，到逐渐了解对方、和解的历程。两人对母亲，和登陆月球的共同记忆，成为两人沟通的无形桥梁。
