C’était Mieux Demain

In 1950s France, Helene and Michel lead a simple life until a freak accident in 2025 leads to Helene becoming a bank executive and Michel struggling with unemployment and depression. Their children grow up in a technology-dominated world.
In een klein Frans dorpje leiden Hélène, Michel en hun twee kinderen een gelukkig leven in de onbezorgde jaren 50. Plotseling worden ze naar 2024 gekatapulteerd, waar het echtpaar een moderne wereld ontdekt die haaks staat op de wereld die ze kennen. Voor Hélène, die altijd in de schaduw van haar man heeft geleefd, is het een revolutie. Maar voor Michel, die zijn mannelijke privileges in rook ziet opgaan, is het een ramp. Tussen nieuwe wind en de geur van weleer zal deze reis door de tijd niet gemakkelijk zijn.
Dans une petite bourgade française, Hélène, Michel, et leurs deux enfants, coulent des jours heureux dans l’insouciance des années 50’. Soudainement propulsés en 2024, le couple découvre un monde moderne à l’opposé de celui qu’ils connaissent. Pour Hélène, qui a toujours vécu comme il se doit dans l’ombre de l’époux, c’est une révolution. Mais, pour Michel, qui voit ses privilèges d’Homme voler en éclat, c’est un cataclysme. Entre vent nouveau et parfum d’antan, ce voyage dans le temps ne sera pas de tout repos.
