Short Review

Nadia leaves her son with her lover Yann (Guillaume Canet - brilliant performance by the boyfriend of Marion Cotillard) to find work in Canada after their restaurant plans have crumbled. Yet Nadia disappears without a trace leaving Yann to struggle with costs, selling the building, living in unhealthy conditions and taking care of the young boy. With little left he follows her to Canada finding her in a desolate situation. Intensely emotional drama about the downward spiral of a young couple with high hopes but no happy endings.
