Les Films Pelléas

Our Struggles

Guillaume Senez

Olivier, a 39 years old supervisor, does the best he can to fight injustice at work. But from one day to the next, when his wife Laura abandons the family home, he is left alone to juggle between the children's needs, life's daily challenges and his job. Faced with these new responsibilities, he struggles to find a balance. Because Laura's not coming back.
