C’est Ça L’Amour - English subtitled
Disarming and affecting drama about a man who has no idea how to deal with women – which is all the more difficult as he has full responsibility for two teenage daughters and wants to regain his wife’s attention.

Frida, 14-year-old, blames her father for her mother’s departure and discovers new ambivalent feelings for her new girlfriend. Niki, 17-year-old, will soon leave home. Meanwhile, she enjoys parties. Mario can’t help but lose the women he loves. Can accepting to lose someone eventually lead to finding oneself?
