Revered director Cédric Kahn has created a heartfelt drama about love and ambition during a time of recession. Guillaume Canet, a noted actor (Last Night) as well as director (Little White Lies, Tell No One) plays Yann, a trained chef who can’t find work in any Paris restaurants due to his lack of experience. He meets Nadia and together with her young son they ambitiously plan to open a restaurant in a derelict building by a lakeside. The film is remarkable in the way it speaks about how love and dedication can persevere against the odds in any era.
