In this poignant French-language drama, life is &NFi;très dificile&NFi_; for a single mother and her three young children (sired by different fathers from two failed marriages) as she works hard to make ends meet. As if that weren't challenging enough, she must also deal with the emotional backlash that stems from her romantic liaisons and the huge effect this has on her pre-teen children -- Michael (age 12), Winnie (age 9) and Aurelie (age 5).
