In the aftermath of World War II a marriage of convenience blossoms into true love.

Beginning in the aftermath of the Second World War, and unfolding over two decades, director Katell Quillévéré examines a mutually advantageous marriage of convenience that, against the odds, grows into real love. Madeleine (Anaïs Demoustier), a waitress and young mother, meets François (Vincent Lacoste), a wealthy and cultivated student, on a beach in Normandy in 1947. The force of attraction that makes them gravitate towards each other, is proportionate to the secrecy that each carries within.

 

"A surprising melodrama, skilfully reconstructed, and carried with panache by a wonderful duo of performers." - Télérama
