Why we chose it

In one of the most touching and emotionally rich films of the decade, time goes back and forth, mixing passion, misfortunes, love at first sight and unbearable sorrow, under the rousing sounds of bluegrass music.

Synopsis

Elise and Didier have shared 7 loving years, yet they miss their passionate beginnings, their early marriage and the happy days when Mabel first came into their lives. A complete cycle of happiness ends when Mabel is diagnosed with a serious illness. The sadness and fear for their young daughter inevitably takes them towards different directions.
