La Promesse

Luc is the proud father of two little girls: Aline, whose mother is Isabelle, and Camille, two months old, whose mother is Mélanie. To protect and ensure his daughter Aline’s emotional and psychological stability, he’ll have to make a tough decision about his relationship with Isabelle.  Luc will also have to face a complex situation when Florence’s baby boy – Luc was the sperm donor – is born. Meantime, Florence, who has not got over her grief since the death of Alain, isn’t managing to bond with her son.  Yves experiences a brief period of hope, as cancer research delivers new treatments for brain tumours. Perhaps he still has a few years to live. However, his case deteriorates rapidly. Isabelle is having a very rough time coping with her father’s illness after Paul leaves her. Two new problems on top of the psychological problems she already has. Michel is worried about Isabelle’s new situation.  Jocelyne undertakes the difficult task of helping her father live out the end of his life under the best conditions possible.  Manon, Benoît, Jean-Louis and Madeleine live through a very intense time when Benoît’s brother Rémi lands in hospital. He was attacked because he and André openly declared their sexual attachment to each other.  Louise is keeping up her relationship with her lover Charles despite Michel’s discomfort.  Florence’s mother, Véronique, tries to rescue her daughter – but finds that Florence doesn’t really want to be rescued.  Manon confronts a declaration of special love.
