    The little girl was indeed one (tv)
    because it's her only movie as she took a career as teacher.

    Anyway this is a great movie that brilliantly mixes drama and comedy: it's about a single father who is pushed to the limits by markets law (jobless) but rather to find a bluesy movie, we have a funny one because this poor lad is rather unlucky! It may be the last team-up between Gerard and Pierre but it may be their best because they are in symbiosis now and above all, they are really tied together by the essential link of this child: she is really the heart of the movie and with few words (she is nearly mute) every body will understand all the joy and responsibility to be a parent. At last, this movie smells good the 80s when the french cinema was popular, faraway of Paris and the Bobos, made with limited money but real conviction so it's a high recommendation! As it's indeed a great french movie, I really wonder what the American remake looks like, all the more than the cast seems appropriate with Short and Nolte
