Ma vie n'est pas une comédie romantique (2007)
Film Synopsis
Thomas's life bears scant resemblance to a rom-com when, after breaking up with his girlfriend, he finds himself back on the street with nowhere to live. It's not a pleasant thing for a man of his advanced years - 35 - to have to go back to his parents and beg them to take him in again. Florence, an old classmate of his, seems to have made a better go of her life. True, she did cause something of a fuss when she got herself pregnant at the age of 17, but that's all in the past. Now she is happily married to a respectable estate agent, lives in a beautiful house in the centre of town, and has two children that she adores. What more could she ask for? Thomas is delighted to run into Florence after all these years - wasn't she the first girl he ever kissed? - and naturally he accepts her kind invitation to dinner at her home. This disastrous dinner engagement will mark a decisive point in Thomas's life - the point at which his life finally begins to look like a romantic comedy...© James Travers
