About this movie

The breakout French hit of the 2017 Cannes International Film Festival, where it premiered in the Directors' Fortnight to multiple, raucous standing ovations, writer/director Carine Tardieu's charming romantic comedy Just To Be Sure is a winning tale of parenthood, love and family, both lost and found. When lonely 45-year-old widower Erwan (the remarkable François Damiens) discovers by accident that that man who raised him isn't his real father, he begins a search for his biological one. Offering a terrific showcase for her brilliant cast, director Carine Tardieu skilfully weaves a wholly-entertaining exploration of love, coincidence and human connection. Few films manage to pluck both the heartstrings and the funny bone as well as Just To Be Sure. It's a delight. 2017 Karé Production - SND - France 2 Cinema - Umedia Production - Delante Films.
