Line of Events
A man takes his wife and teenage children on a trip down memory lane as he deals with divorce. Florent Bernard wrote the film with Charlotte Gainsbourg in mind as Sandrine, but instead asked for an actress like Charlotte Gainsbourg, thinking he would never get her in the film. Luckily, her producers were also producing Jane by Charlotte (2021) (his documentary about his famous mother), so they asked her and he liked the script. It was only after she accepted that Bernard came up with the idea of pairing her with José García; he then completely rewrote the character for him. He finally read the script on a Wednesday morning and said yes later that day. During the breakfast scene at the beginning of the film, Sandrine’s children look at their bowl of cereal in front of them in one shot, then suddenly at their mother, positioned off to the side, in the next shot.
