Not every morning awakening brings joyful knowledge.
A young woman falls in love, then wakes up a decade later as the mother of a young boy who is also in the middle of a divorce.
Twentysomething Marie meets and falls madly in love with Paul. After spending the night with him, Marie wakes to find she has skipped a decade of her life! She is now married to Paul with a son and a successful career. What happened? Has she deliberately forgotten her missing years? If so, why Marie’s new life is not all good. She learns she is feared by her colleagues and is about to be divorced from her husband – the romance she thought was just beginning is actually ending. With her world crumbling around her, Marie realises she has only days to seduce her husband, salvage her marriage and straighten up her life. Juliette Binoche is wonderful in this high concept and utterly delightful comedy, based on the bestselling book by Frédérique Deghelt.
"Sylvie Testud directs a radiant Juliette Binoche in "The Life of Another", vitamin comedy where a businesswoman wakes up having forgotten fifteen years of her existence.“
