A middle-aged bomb disposal expert faces a different kind of explosive situation when he learns that the man who raised him is not his biological father and the woman he is seeing may be his half sister.

3.5/5

The film, in the fine tradition of Sautet's movies, throws up serious questions along the way, the principal one being the role of the father.

Charming french family drama about questions of identity, genealogy and ultimately the kinship that transcends all that.

A little gem of a film. Great scenes of French provincial life and strong performances.
