Narrative
A man takes his wife and teenage children on a trip down memory lane as they deal with divorce. Writer/director Florent Bernard watched a lot of movies about parents breaking up and realized they were either comedies or dramas, with very little in between. . It was also always shown from the parents’ perspective, and never the children’s, so he wanted to approach this subject by making a bittersweet comedy with nostalgia and funny scenes, while fully including the children in the story. . During the breakfast scene at the beginning of the film, Sandrine’s children look down at their bowl of cereal in front of them in one shot, then suddenly at their mother, lying to the side, in the next shot.
