Our take

Based on Éliette Abécassis’s bestselling novel, Remi Bezancon’s endearing portrayal of modern parenthood approaches the challenges faced by young couples with a hefty dose of wit. When date nights are replaced by morning sickness and daily diapers, baby blues can be the ultimate poison for romance.
