Les beaux jours

Movie Rating: Agathe Tissier

A retired woman finds happiness again thanks to an affair with much younger man.

Feeling very alone after the death of her best friend and since she's been retired, Caroline (Fanny Ardant) unwillingly receives a present from her daughters: a discovery package for Les Beaux Jours, a club for retirees offering various workshops. Although she decides to keep to herself, against expectations she develops a lively interest in computer courses, especially in a tall dark-haired young man who's old enough to be her son. Despite knowing her affair with him won't last, Caroline is happy again and feels a new wind blowing through her life, which may just sweep away everything in her path...

Sweet revenge for those who think life ends at 60! A romantic breeze whose whirlwind carries off all the clichés about the female expiration date, without turning the lead character into a scatterbrain. Completely conscious of her situation, the heroine of Les beaux jours becomes even more of a woman, with all the implicit responsibilities. An adventure that makes you want to have a family – and a lover!
