film synopsis

Olivier's life is turned upside down when his wife Laura leaves him and their children seemingly out of the blue, without saying why she was leaving or - worse - where she was going. Feeling abandoned, Olivier is left  trying to put together the pieces of what happened with their marriage. They were fine, or so he thought.  As he quietly struggles to figure out what happened and what the next step is, Olivier is faced with the new task of playing mom and dad and strengthening the vulnerable state of his family all the while maintaining his work in the balance. Guillaume Senez's second feature, which premiered in the Critics' Week at the Cannes Film Festival, paints a sensitive portrait of a family in crisis learning to care for each other.
