Cafe de Flore

Romantic drama in which the lives of a single mother in 1960s Paris and a popular, contemporary DJ in Montreal are connected by a timeless love.

Drama which cuts between two seemingly unrelated stories.

In 1960s Paris, Jacqueline is a single mother working hard to raise her son Laurent, who has Down's syndrome. Their extremely close relationship is strained when Laurent makes a new best friend.

In modern-day Montreal, Antoine is a successful club DJ who has been through a difficult divorce from his childhood sweetheart Carole. Now he is struggling to start afresh with his new girlfriend, against some opposition from the family.

In French with English subtitles.
