Synopsis:

Barbara (Louise Bourgoin), a young grad student, falls for a video store clerk named Nicolas (Pio Marmai) and their romance blossoms after partaking in the conventional rites of passages in relationships, such as getting in paint fights and smearing shaving cream all over each other in bed. After a moment of sheer joy and madness, Barbara and Nicolas try to make a baby, and they succeed, despite the fact these two free-spirited individuals aren't financially secure. Barbara begins to struggle with the reality of being pregnant, embracing her pregnancy one day then resenting it the next. After the birth of her child, Barbara and Nicolas must face the many hardships that come from parenthood, and their careers, sex life and relationship all start to suffer from it.

Having kids is not quite A Happy Event (Un heureux evenement) for one French mother in Remi Bezancon's amusing, feel-good portrayal of the modern day baby blues. Starring the gorgeous and charismatic Louise Bourgoin (The Girl from Monaco), this polished, well-performed dramedy also seems a tad too slick and cute - newborns notwithstanding - to provide a convincing account of what can go wrong both before and after the bunny leaves the oven.

Celebrated French director Rémi Bezançon's incisive, yet tender and humorous, third feature follows a young couple whose carefree lifestyle is interrupted by the birth of their first child, a happy event that also turns their world completely upside-down.
