Adapted from Elinor Lipman’s novel of the same name, Helen Hunt’s directorial debut was a hit of the 2007 Toronto Film Festival, with Hunt starring alongside Colin Firth, Bette Midler and Matthew Broderick in a very funny and deeply moving story about the way we create families both by blood and by choice.
Adapted by Claude Miller and based on a true story, this is the splendid and moving saga of a Jewish family in post-war Paris, told through the eyes of a frail & intelligent young boy who senses something is amiss with his beautiful parents (Cécile De France & Patrick Bruel)..
