FFFA: Leave One Day

Synopsis

Partir un jour

Director Amélie Bonnin’s joyously entertaining musical romance stars break-out singer/songwriter Juliette Armanet as a talented Parisian chef forced to reconnect with her small-town upbringing during an unexpected trip home.

Cécile (Armanet) is about to finally realise her dream and open her own restaurant when her father, the cook at a small rural truck stop, falls unwell. Cécile must deal with a return to her roots that is more complicated than she imagined. When she runs into her teenage first love (Bastien Bouillon), old memories and sensations resurface… and then her fiancé shows up.

Evocatively depicting regional France and the complications of family life with tenderness and wit, LEAVE ONE DAY interweaves music naturally into the story, blending several classics with more recent hits by artists such as Stromae and Céline Dion.
