Le bonheur in Amsterdam

In the sun-drenched French countryside of the 1960s, carpenter François lives an idyllic life with his wife Thérèse and their two children. However, when he begins an affair with a charming postal worker named Emilie, a complex web of emotions unfolds. François genuinely believes his heart is large enough for two women and that these romances only amplify his happiness. Director Agnès Varda wraps this controversial tale in an aesthetic color palette reminiscent of Impressionist paintings. Set to the spirited strains of Mozart and captured with the deceptive serenity of bourgeois family life, the film poses a provocative question: what does fidelity truly mean in a world driven by individual desire?
