The First Day of the Rest of Your Life (15)

21 November 2009

MARIE-JEANNE and Robert have three children - Albert, Raphael and Fleur.

THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE (15), is a portrait of their family sketched out over 12 years, through five key days.

Five days that are more important then any others, and after which nothing will ever be the same again.

This heart-warming French film was a smash hit at the French box office.

Writer/director Remi Bezancon says: "I have always wondered who I'd be if I'd been raised by parents other than my own. I'd surely have been someone completely different, but who? Family life is both what shapes us and from what we struggle to free ourselves.
