The story
Aurore has separated, just lost her job, and learns that she is going to be a grandmother.
What it’s like
Warm, wry French comedy-drama with a grown-up edge, suited to an easy evening in or a relaxed weekend afternoon. Its story follows a woman in midlife whose separation, sudden loss of work, and unexpected news about becoming a grandmother force her to reconsider what comes next, and the tone leans toward gentle humour and tenderness rather than heavy crisis. The emotional register balances tears and laughter, with the focus on second chances, family bonds, and the messy business of love at any age. It fits viewers who enjoy character-led French films about ordinary people finding their footing, and those who want a comedy with a sincere heart rather than a hard-edged or cynical one.
