Café de Flore

11 yrs 120 minutes • 2011 • 7.3

Healing a broken heart is not easy. Sometimes it takes a lifetime or two. Café de Flore is a depiction of sacrificing everything, of euphoric, immersive, tragic, youthful, and timeless love. The film is told via two parallel stories. The first about a single mother (Vanessa Paradis) and her devotion to her son with Down syndrome in 1960s Paris, and the other about a famous DJ (Kevin Parent) who tries to split his attention between a new love interest, his young daughters and his ex-wife who mourns the broken relationship in present day Montreal.
