Storyline
| Plot Summary |
This movie tells the story of Bruno (Daniel Auteuil), a Communist newspaper journalist suffering a mid-life crisis. Torn between his wife Gaëlle (Emmanuel Devos) and his young girlfriend Nathalie (Ludivine Sagnier), his political beliefs battered by the wind of history, Bruno seems to have lost his bearings. After responding to a call for help from his uncle (Jean Yanne), who is fighting a losing battle for re-election as the Communist Mayor of a small town near Grenoble, Bruno gets lost in a dark forest. There he meets Béatrice (Dame Kristin Scott Thomas), who does nothing to stop him from getting even more lost. |
