Just to Be Sure

(Comedy, International)

Erwan (Francois Damiens) is a bomb disposal expert, clearing mines from World War II. But his personal life is the more volatile minefield. His daughter, Juliette (Alice de Lencquesaing), is pregnant but doesn’t know who the father is. Meanwhile, a DNA test reveals that Erwan’s dad (Guy Marchand) is not his biological father, and Erwan sets out to learn about and find his father.

This sharp comedy asks whether parents are those who give birth to us or those who raise us and whether we have the right to choose between them. While ‘everyone has a father’, the film questions whether or not they need to be recognised as such or at all.
