Lonely and destitute, Ali (Matthias Schoenaerts) leaves
the north of France for his sister's house in Antibes after becoming
the sole guardian of his estranged five-year-old son Sam. When Ali lands
a job as a bouncer in a nearby nightclub, things quickly start to look
up for the itinerant father and son. Then one night, after breaking up a
fight in the club, Ali
meets the radiant Stephanie (Marion Cotillard), and slips her his number
after dropping her off safely at home. Though Stephanie's position on
the high end of the social spectrum makes romance an unlikely prospect
for the pair, a tragic accident at Marineland robs her of her legs, and
finds her reaching out in desperation to Ali. Her spirit broken by the
same tragedy that took her legs, Stephanie gradually finds the courage
to go on living trough transcendent moments spent with Ali -- a man with
precious little pity, but an enormous love of life. ~ Jason Buchanan,

Sandra (Seydoux) lives in a small apartment in Paris with her eight-year-old daughter. Her parents have long separated, and Sandra regularly visits her father, Georg (Pascal Greggory), an academic whose health has begun to deteriorate. Whilst she and her strong-willed mother (Nicole Garcia) struggle to agree on finding Georg a safe place to live, Sandra unexpectedly reconnects with an old friend, Clément (Melvil Poupaud). A passionate relationship begins to form, but not without repercussions. Hansen-Løve, so finely observant of the small nuances of human interaction, weaves autobiographical elements into this delicate and heartfelt story of familial and romantic connections, and finding strength against challenging odds. Seydoux is radiant as her lead, bringing tremendous warmth and empathy to her role and the film as a whole.
