Quand Tu Descendras du Ciel director Eric Guirado follows up his feature filmmaking debut with this drama about a grocer's son who returns to the village where he was born in order to take over his father's business. Ten years ago, Antione (Nicolas Cazalé) left his family behind and moved to the big city. Now, after discovering that his father (Daniel Duval) has suffered a heart attack and that the family grocery store will soon be forced to shut down, Antoine heads back to the French mountain town at the behest of his brother François (Stéphan Guérin-Tillié). It seems that few folks save for his mother (Jeanne Goupil) are happy to see Antoine return, though the meandering 30-year-old has brought city friend Claire (Clotilde Hesme) along to keep him company during his stay in the country. Though it remains to be seen whether Antoine and Claire will ever become anything more than friends, the free-spirited sprite is more than happy to help out when it comes to making the rounds with the mobile store that services the local villages.

This is one of those gentle films that unrolls effortlessly and enticingly through the story, taking time for the viewer to see and comprehend all that is happening.
Antoine Sfozer (Nicholas Cazale), having left his family to their travelling grocery business in the countryside, is enjoying a dissolute, untidy life in the city. His freedom is curtailed by the sudden heart attack of his father. His mother needs him to take over the van until his father is well again. Antoine, feeling trapped, takes along a friend, fancy free Claire to help also. But this is not a film about a selfish son. It's a film about the growth of the inner self, the sudden flowering and delight in the smaller things in life. With Claire's help, Antoine's impatience with, and surliness towards his father's customers gradually changes, altering into caring for them, seeing the value in their very ordinariness. The actors are all superb, with special mention for Liliane Rovere as the eccentric and feisty Lucienne, with hair that is both comical and indicative of her character. But all the actors are believable, from the disapproving older brother, Francois (Stephen Guerin-Tille) and the charming Madame Sfozer (played disarmingly by Jeanne Goupil), to the contemptuous father (Daniel Duval). Nicholas Cazale plays Antoine with a quietness that allow the viewer to warm towards his spiritual growth.
This thoroughly enjoyable and charming film displays elbow-poking humour alongside pathos; the French seem to be able to do this with great finesse. Well worth seeing.

A WONDERFUL FILM. GUIRADO DIRECTS A GREAT CAST IN A STORY THAT IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND RELATE TO. THIS FILM SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED MORE AUDIENCE RECOGNITION.
