Une vie meilleure



Cédric Kahn : 2011
A Better Life

Yann and Nadia fall in love. He is a trained chef though unemployed and she's a waitress. On an impulse they buy an old crumbling lakeside building in the woods outside Paris to renovate and open as a restaurant. It seems that their dreams have come true. However, funding for their project is hard to obtain so they purchase additional loans, but soon their means are insufficent to pay the interest. As the project gets delayed, Yann and Nadia's financial difficulties worsen. An opportunity of temporary work comes and Nadia travels to Montréal, leaving Yann to look after her nine-year-old son, Slimane, during her absence. Yann tries desperately to find the money to join her in Canada but when Nadia disappears without a trace, Yann is on his own.
