Love Is at Stake

1957 · 90 min

A light, chatty French comedy where bickering spouses and a clever child keep things warm and gently amusing.

Overview: Bob, a talented draftsman, and his young wife Marie-Blanche, a young antique dealer, adore their only son Gégé. But for the most trivial of pretexts, the couple often quarrel. A more serious quarrel leads to separation and divorce proceedings. Gégé spends a week with one of them, and a week with the other, each vying with the other for the little one's affection. But Gégé realizes that he can perhaps initiate a reconciliation.
How it feels: Light, warm, whimsical and satirical. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Family, love, parenthood, betrayal
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
