Happy New Year
Directed by Claude Lelouch
Produced by Les Films 13, Rizzoli Film
A charming heist-romance set in Cannes that balances a criminal's redemption arc with the warmth of unexpected connection.
Released from prison under a New Year amnesty, a criminal tries to pick up the threads of a life changed not only by his daring plan to rob a jewelry store in out-of-season Cannes, but also by a very special someone he met there.
