Jeanne has consciously chosen a life without children. Her carefully built existence is completely disrupted when her estranged sister Suzanne suddenly shows up at her door with her two young children.
The unexpected visit seems like an attempt to repair their bond, but the next morning Suzanne is gone. Without explanation — and without the children. While the search for Suzanne turns up nothing, Jeanne is left caring for her nephew and niece.
Les enfants vont bien is a moving and nuanced French family drama by Nathan Ambrosioni, who has developed into a striking new voice in French cinema in recent years. The film had its world premiere in the Crystal Globe competition at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, where it won both the award for Best Director and the FIPRESCI Prize for Best Film. With powerful performances from Camille Cottin and Monia Chokri, Les enfants vont bien tells a warm and human story about family, responsibility, and the unexpected turns life sometimes takes.
