About The Happiness of Others
Twenty years before the events in the film's story, Jean-Pierre left his wife, Louise. At that moment, Marion and Sylvie, Jean-Pierre's two children, were respectively 10 and 8 years old. Eventually, Jean-Pierre will come back to his family and he believes that his past mistakes were forgotten.
Directed by Jean-Philippe Pearson, The Happiness of Others leans on a strong ensemble — Michel Barrette, Louise Portal, Marc-André Grondin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2011.
