Alain and Diane have been together for 30 years. In his mind, Alain is still 30 years old. But the equation 30 years of routine feelings, empty nest (and incidentally a job where being 50 is like an incurable disease) creates a much less euphoric effect for Diane. She oscillates between depression and free fall - and the first one who says "hormonal" she smokes. Alain loves Diane like crazy and love is proof. He's going to do something crazy for her, something to make her feel vital again, to make her heart beat and youthfulness pulsate. The crazy thing? Leave her. The risk with electroshock ? Unknown: either it wakes up or it burns. They will take it, with their eyes closed.
New Beginnings is a French comedy-romance about a long-married couple navigating middle age and the spark that's faded from their 30-year relationship. Released in September 2023, the film follows Alain's unconventional attempt to reignite Diane's zest for life by leaving her, testing whether shock therapy can save their marriage or destroy it.
