Antoine is a construction supervisor who does a lot of traveling to
different jobs. He goes from
France to Tangier to make sure a complicated job is completed by the due
date. It’s been 30 years since
Antoine has seen Cecile and he has never married. She was his first love and he’s still in love with her. She is living in Tangier, married with
a son and the host of an evening radio program. Cecile likes her life the way it is and she is not
interested in making changes. Her
son arrives for a visit and springs the surprise that he has brought his
girlfriend and her son with him.
The addition of more people causes complications in the household
routine.
This film swings back and forth between the main characters with other
people and situations thrown into the mix. This style doesn’t add to the film but makes it seem very
unfocused. Perhaps this would be much
better if the relationship of the main characters were central without the
problems of the supporting characters.
I really wonder if the outcome of this film would be something that
would happen in real life? 3*
