Nathalie has everything to be happy. She is young, beautiful, and contentedly married. But then her husband’s accidental death stops her in her tracks. For several years, she buries herself in her work and puts her love life on hold. Then suddenly, without really knowing why, she kisses one of her colleagues, Markus, a very atypical man.

A peculiar love affair then ensues between this highly improbable couple that gives rise to bewilderment and aggressiveness amongst Nathalie’s colleagues. Do we really choose the way in which life is reborn? Nathalie and Markus end up fleeing so as to live their relationship and joy in peace. This story of a rebirth is also one about the strangeness of love.

Director: David Foenkinos, Stéphane Foenkinos

Almost overnight, Nathalie Pêcheux, a divorced French teacher, changes from a loving mother into a jealous monster. Her first target is her stunning 18-year-old daughter Mathilde, a ballet dancer, but her field of attack soon extends to her friends, colleagues, and even her neighbors.

A small provincial town in the 1970s. Jean is six years old and has just started going to school. When the teacher asks each child to talk about his or her father’s and mother’s work, Jean, realizing that he is not like the other kids, gets worried and invents an answer: “My mom, she’s a secretary.” In fact, his mom is always away on trips and she sends postcards to Michèle, the little next-door neighbor who already knows how to read and who hence reads them to Jean, which sets him dreaming. Unless reality is something else entirely, which is what Jean slowly begins to understand in the months between September and Christmas…
