Ôtez-moi d'un doute (2017)
Directed by Carine Tardieu

Comedy / Drama
aka: Just to Be Sure

Film Synopsis

Being a bomb disposal expert by profession, Erwan likes to think he has nerves of steel, or at least knows how to keep his head in a difficult situation.  But this seemingly imperturbable middle-aged Breton suddenly has the ground ripped from under him when he learns that the man he thought was his father has no genealogical connection with him at all.  From the moment this bombshell hits him, Erwan has one thought in his head - to find the man who is his biological father.

It isn't long before Erwan finds the object of his quest - a quiet, respectable old man named Joseph.  Within minutes of their first meeting, Erwan establishes a close bond of affection with his real father.  But then a second bombshell lands at his feet.  The young woman, Anna, he has recently developed strong amorous feelings for turns out to be Joseph's daughter - and, by consequence, Erwan's half-sister.  Despite Erwan's best efforts to keep his problems to himself, his adopted father soon realises that something is amiss...
