Looking for Hortense DVD

Looking for Hortense is a bittersweet 'comedie de moeurs' that is French in spirit but universal in appeal.

It tells the story of Damien (Jean-Pierre Bacri), a professor of Chinese civilization and his wife, Iva (Kristin Scott Thomas). Their marriage has turned stale and the only thing they share is the care of their son Noe, a precocious child going through a pre-teen crisis. Damien also has a dysfunctional relationship with his father (Claude Rich), a high-ranking state judge. When Iva asks Damien to speak to his father on behalf of a woman facing deportation, he is loath to ask for help, but when Damien meets the lovely Zorica (Isabelle Carre), the legalities quickly become more personal.

Through Zorica, Damien discovers a long forgotten desire and a way to finally grow up.
