Cast: Roland Giraud, Clémentine Célarié, Zabou Breitman

In this Movie, Roland Giraud plays an unknown artist who became sterile because of measles and who discovers, years later, that he maybe has a son. Will he fall in love again ? He has a lover, a wife ("white marriage"), a brother who has success in business and who tries to help him, a doctor whose wife is gone, an african friend who works in the streets but who knows about computing (in a time where this seemed really extraordinary to know about computing), a brother in law who manages a bank agency, many nice people in a nice Paris... This is actually not a very good movie, but it has the special charm of movies like "La boum", "croque la vie", "le maître d'école", I'm not sure this genre of movies have ever existed somewhere else than in the 1980's french cinema. Not unforgettable, pleasantly watchable, can't be compared to some masterpiece of this kind of film like "un éléphant ça trompe énormément"

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
