Synopsis
Aymeric runs into Florence, a former coworker, one evening in Saint-Claude in the Haut-Jura. She is six months pregnant and single. When she gives birth to Jim, Aymeric is there. They spend happy years together until Christophe, Jim's biological father, shows up... It could be the start of a melodrama, it's also the start of an odyssey into fatherhood.
Community Reviews
Viewers find 'Le Roman de Jim' deeply moving, largely due to Karim Leklou's poignant portrayal of a stepfather's love and loss. The film's narrative, which explores themes of non-biological parenthood and familial bonds, resonates emotionally, although some find the supporting performances less convincing. The scenic Jura setting adds a visual charm to the story, enhancing the film's gentle and melancholic atmosphere.
👍 Karim Leklou's performance is highly praised.
👎 Some supporting performances may feel underwhelming.
