Why we chose it

This elegant romance won two Oscars and the Palme d’Or, and its Francis Lai melody will stay in your head for days. Two people fall for each other while unsure they’re allowed to be happy, and Lelouch went back to their story twice more. It makes you believe it’s never too late to fall in love.

Synopsis

On a Sunday afternoon in Deauville, Anne and Jean-Louis are taking their children back to the same boarding school, and both of them have come alone. She works in film and lost her husband, a stuntman, on set, while he races cars and is a widower too. When she misses her train, he offers to drive her to Paris. It’s a long road, and neither of them is in a hurry.
