    Not a comedy!!
    Even though the movie is rated as a comedy, 90% of it is drama, with only 2-3 scences with medium laugh. The action is surrounding the main character Abel, through the life of his newly married mother with an ex prisoner.

    There are a few scenes that showcase love and appreciation, especially between elder people, which I find great because not a lot of movies are doing that.

    The only funny character was Clemence, which is a secundary character with not a lot of screen time, but she ends up an important part in the plot.

    I was expecting a lot more funny scences, as I had great experiences with some French movies, but even the music and the way it was filmed reminded me of a drama waiting to happen.
