I had a real flash for Nicolas Rey’s book (her ex boyfriend) "Un début Prometteur" which I immediately wanted to adapt...
The pitch? Martin, a successful yet totally jaded man, who no longer believes in anything (especially not love), has just come out of rehab and goes back home to his father, played by Fabrice Luchini, on the eve of his divorce.
There he encounters his younger 16-year-old brother, who is his total opposite: impetuous, daring, impatient, full of illusions... and in love!
The object of desire is Mathilde, a gal with a sparkling personality, leading the two brothers to confront their vision of love, and also change Martin’s point of view...
