Directed by: Fabien Gorgeart
Cast: Laure Calamy, Vincent Macaigne
Marguerite sees no reason to refuse her ex-husband Fred when he
asks for an official Catholic Church annulment of their marriage. They share a child, she has since rebuilt her life with a new partner
and a teen daughter, and she is even genuinely pleased to learn that Fred hopes to remarry Chloé, the woman who now shares his life.
To satisfy the Church authorities, the former spouses must prove that their marriage was destined to fail from the beginning. What begins
as a simple administrative formality slowly turns into an unexpected emotional journey. As Marguerite and Fred revisit old memories,
moments of tenderness, and the cracks that once separated them, emotions they believe long-resolved begin to resurface. What follows is a
touching and witty family comedy about the strange afterlives of relationships, the surprises that linger after separation, and the
subtle power of second chances that can shift everything.
"A film that makes you feel good, with joyful performances".
Anne Fontaine, Festival 2 Valenciennes Jury President
