Didine (2008)
Directed by Vincent Dietschy

Comedy / Drama / Romance

Film Synopsis

Alexandrine is an amiable young woman in her mid-thirties who has one killer fault - she just cannot help acting on impulse.  Known to her friends as Didine, she is full of good intentions, but as we all know good intentions are merely those things that allow us to construct a nice tidy path towards Hell.  Whilst visiting a friend in hospital, Didine can't help noticing a teddy bear that has been left behind.  Her charitable instinct kicks in straight away and before she knows it she is returning the lost bear to its owner, an old woman who is totally dependent on charitable support.  This leads Didine to take an interest in the plight of the elderly, and by joining an association that cares for old people she discovers a whole new outlet for her unremitting goodness...
