Ariane is an uptight, ambitious, defiantly single, court judge, who unwillingly gets dragged to a New Year’s party. Several days later Ariane discovers, to her shock, that she’s pregnant! But what is even more surprising is that, according to the paternity test, the father of the child is none other than Bob, a criminal being prosecuted for a violent crime. Ariane does not remember a thing and tries to work out how it could have happened and what the future might hold. Her search will take her on quite a journey. Dupontel’s film combines raucous satirical humour with visual kinetics reminiscent of Amélie, and boasts a superb cast bolstered by unforgettable cameo appearances by filmmaker/Python member, Terry Gilliam, and The Artist star Jean Dujardin.
