Plot Summary

The film tells two seemingly unrelated stories: the first takes place in present-day Montreal, where Anthony is a highly successful DJ who carefully maintains a fragile balance between his new lover Ross and his old lover Caroline. In addition, he also needs to take care of his daughter, consider his future and career. The anxious life eventually pushed him step by step to the brink of collapse. The second story takes place in Paris in 1969, with the protagonist being a mother named Jacqueline. Jacqueline has a son who suffers from severe Down syndrome. Due to her son's illness, Jacqueline almost abandoned all of her own life and focused on taking care of him. He refused to listen to his husband and doctor's advice and insisted on raising the child in his own way. But his child gradually developed an interest in the outside world, and this interest ultimately hurt his relationship with his mother. Vanessa Paradis, the wife of Johnny Depp, played the role of the mother who loved her child wholeheartedly but unintentionally harmed her child in the film. The young actress who played her child was truly a patient with Down syndrome. In order to portray the role of a good mother, Vanessa Paradis came to Paris and lived with the young actress for a month. Director Jean Marc Varre said, "They lived together for a month and got to know each other's lifestyles. Paradis also had a few meals with the parents of the young actress and talked for a long time. She tried to portray the dual qualities of happiness and sadness in the film. Sometimes, she was the absolute leader and authority of the child, while at other times she was the child's playmate. This was not a very easy character to shape. Fortunately, Paradis' performance was very successful. In my opinion, this was the best performance of her entire career." Will she face opposition from the parents of a sick child when performing with them? Mark Varley said, "This is something I am very worried about. I always worry about conflicts between actors and their families. However, none of this has happened, and the young actor and his family are not unhappy at all. In fact, training the young actor's performance is not that difficult, because children are naturally skilled in acting. Whether it is this child with Down syndrome or the other two young actors, their performances are surprising. It should be said that I am a very lucky person because I have met such excellent young actors." The film takes place in Montreal, and the male protagonist Anthony is a DJ, so the film is involuntarily infused with a lot of musical characteristics and personality. Even many
