With Demain Tout Commence, director Hugo Gélin(Comme des Frères) offers a comedy-drama that's both funny and poignant, driven by the talent of Omar Sy. Alongside Gloria Colston, who plays his daughter, and Clémence Poésy, in the role of the absent mother, the film explores universal themes: fatherhood, unexpected responsibilities and unconditional love. From the sunny coast of southern France to the bustling streets of London, this work captivates with its blend of lightness and deep emotion.
Demain Tout Commence will be available on Netflix from January 1, 2025.
Synopsis: Samuel lives his life without ties or responsibilities, by the sea in sunny southern France, close to the people he loves and with whom he works without tiring too much. That is, until one of his former conquests leaves him with a baby, Gloria, just a few months old: his daughter! Unable to look after a baby and determined to get the child back to her mother, Samuel rushes off to London to try and find her, but to no avail. 8 years later, just as Samuel and Gloria have made a life for themselves in London and become inseparable, Gloria's mother comes back into their lives to get her daughter back...
Demain Tout Commence appeals to a wide audience, especially fans of emotional comedy-dramas. With its funny moments and moving sequences, the film will appeal to viewers looking for a touching, human story.
Omar Sy's acting, combined with his chemistry with the young Gloria Colston, is a major asset that will appeal to fans of the actor. Those who enjoyed films like Intouchables or Nos Jours Heureux will find here a sincere story that plays on several registers: comedy, drama, and authentic moments of life.
However, viewers looking for a more complex plot or an exclusively comic tone may find the story too predictable, even though emotion is omnipresent.
Released in 2016, Demain Tout Commence was a big hit in France, thanks to its universal tone andOmar Sy's popularity. Inspired by a Mexican film(Instructions Not Included), the feature offers a European retelling of this story of unexpected fatherhood. The performance of Gloria Colston, then aged just 11, was particularly noteworthy, adding sincerity and freshness to the central duo.
Demain Tout Commence is a comedy-drama that combines laughter and emotion, exploring family ties with finesse and tenderness. With Omar Sy at the top of his game, this film promises to touch the hearts of viewers and leave a lasting impression with its universal simplicity.
