French-Canadian romantic-drama examining two disparate stories of love, transitioning from 1960s Paris to modern-day Montreal. From the director of Young Victoria.
"Set in present-day Montreal, the first story centres on Antoine (Kevin Parent), a successful DJ and divorced father of two girls who is wildly infatuated with his girlfriend Rose (Evelyne Brochu). However, he still has strong ties to his ex, Carole (Hélène Florent), and it’s evident they are not entirely over one another. The second story takes place in Paris in 1969. Jacqueline (Vanessa Paradis) is the fiercely devoted single mother of Laurent, a young boy with Down syndrome. Jacqueline dedicates every spare moment to enriching and prolonging his life. Their days are rituals of school drop-offs, affectionate kisses and Laurent’s constant request to listen to the jazz album Café de flore. When a young girl who also has Down syndrome joins Laurent’s class, Jacqueline’s tightly woven world begins to fray." (Toronto International Film Festival 2011)
