Jim’s Story

One evening in Saint-Claude in the Haut-Jura, Aymeric (Karim Leklou) runs into former coworker Florence (Laetitia Dosch). She is single and six months pregnant. When she gives birth to Jim, Aymeric is there. They spend happy years together until Jim’s biological father, Christophe (Bertrand Belin) shows up… This could be the start of a melodrama, and yet the film gently explores alternative forms of masculinity and fatherhood.
