Directed by Valérie Lemercier

Comedy

Film Synopsis

When she loses both her job and her husband Marie-Francine finds she has no option other than to go back to living with her parents.  Well, she is only fifty...  It isn't long before the reluctant lodger finds her new domestic arrangements intolerable, mainly because of her parents' insistence on finding a new soul mate for her without the slightest regard to her taste in men.  She finds work running a shop that sells electronic cigarettes, and this is how she comes to meet Miguel, a charming cook of her own age who, as luck would have it, is in exactly the same position as she is.  Surely it is Fate that has brought these two over-aged adolescents together?  Even though everything seems to be against them, Marie-Francine and Miguel make a go of their burgeoning romance...
