Accidental Family
Directed by Gérard Jugnot
Produced by Les Films du Premier, Les Films du 24
A bittersweet drama-comedy about grief and redemption, where a father's loss becomes the catalyst for an unlikely, transformative bond with a stranger carrying his dead son's heart.
Loïc Le Tallec never really took care of his son. When the latter disappears in a road accident, Loïc is devastated. He has only one idea in mind: to find the one who lives now with the heart of his son. He falls on Hugo, a young man that this brand new heart makes totally unreasonable and uncontrollable. Their meeting promises to be explosive.
