Can you win the respect of your mostly male employees when they see only see you as "the boss's hot wife"? Can you resist temptation when you deal with pretty clients and a single, female business partner all day? How long can you bear not being the children's go-to parent for hugs and kisses at night? And how do you stick to your guns in the face of disapproving looks from your perfect mother-in-law?

To everybody's surprise, the experiment works out. Just not in the way that they expected...

Le Syndrome du Titanic (Fr.)

The Titanic Senario (Int.)

by Nicolas Hulot et Jean-Albert Lièvre

Documentary

Released July 01, 2009 in France
Casting :
Ventes Internationales : Kinology

Synopsis :

«I was not an environmentalist when I began to travel around the world 30 years ago. I saw the planet shrink before my eyes, and I went from being carefree and believing that we live in an infinite and unchanging world to realizing that the world is finite and vulnerable. During the past 20 years, I have been fighting to make others conscious of the environmental perils but especially to mobilize others to act. Cinema is the perfect medium, both in France and abroad, to discover these threats and share my feelings on the subject : that everyone sees the Earth and Humanity as they are and as I saw them ; that Man find his own place in time and space. This film is a wake-up call: let us not allow any more time to go by without change. It is also a window of hope: let us seize the occasion to find ourselves again, mobilize human intelligence, giving meaning once more to the idea of progress.»

This is the story of a Parisian who is sick and thinks he may die. His condition makes him look at all the people he meets in a new and different way. Imagining his death suddenly gives new meaning to his life, to other peoples’ lives, and to the life of the whole city. Fruit and vegetable sellers, a woman who runs a bakery, a social worker, a dancer, an architect, a homeless person, a university professor, a model, an illegal immigrant from Cameroon... All these very different people come together in this city and in this film.
You might imagine there’s nothing special about them, but for every single one of them, their life is unique. You might believe their problems don’t matter, but to them, they are the most important things in the world.

It’s the type of movie we all love - a warm and big hearted, down-to-earth cry for joy that we can all relate to, a cross between Yves Robert (Un éléphant ça trompe énormément, Nous irons tous au paradis) and Woody Allen (Husbands and Wives, Crimes and Misdemeanors), between Cédric Klapisch and Bacri-Jaoui. The type of movie that inspires a troupe of wonderful actors – Vincent Elbaz, Isabelle Carré, François-Xavier Demaison, Audrey Dana, Joséphine de Meaux and Omar Sy - to perform at their peak. Through the analysis of the complex bonds between members of a single family, the directors deliver a thoroughly modern, moving, affectionate and funny comedy of manners.
