We Were Born to Be Happy

Lionel Duroy

Release date : 22/08/2019

During a family dinner unlike any other, a man looks back on his entire life. A moving story of the eternal ties of childhood, resilience, dialogue, and rediscovering peace.

For over thirty years, Paul has made his family’s story, especially his disastrous childhood, into the main material for his novels. His nine brothers and sisters, extremely angry over this choice, have not spoken to him for several years, and so his children have grown up without knowing any of... For over thirty years, Paul has made his family’s story, especially his disastrous childhood, into the main material for his novels. His nine brothers and sisters, extremely angry over this choice, have not spoken to him for several years, and so his children have grown up without knowing any of their aunts, uncles, or cousins. And then, one day, three of Paul’s brothers come visit him at his home way out in the country and apologize for the way in which they reacted over his novels. Paul can’t believe it—he had given up hoping for this moment. With the time for reconciliation having perhaps finally arrived, he decides to bring together all the protagonists in his story—his nine brothers and sisters, along with his two ex-wives—in his house that has over the years become his refuge. Come who will and come what may. This is the story of this strange day, in which so many unsettling and surprising things will be said, driven by the fascinating candidness and mastery of Lionel Duroy.
