Faced with a painful decision, Emmanuèle, with the grudging support of her younger sister Pascale (Géraldine Pailhas), begins sorting through the processes and bureaucratic hurdles necessary to fulfill her father’s final wish, as she is forced to reconcile her past with a complicated, stubborn, yet charismatic man.

“Everything Went Fine” also stars Charlotte Rampling (Ozon’s “Under the Sand”) as André’s estranged wife, along with cinema icon Hanna Schygulla (“Peter von Kant”) in a key cameo.  Produced by Eric and Nicolas Altmayer at Mandarin Cinema, the film was lensed by Hichame Alaouie and edited by Laure Gardette.
