Synopsis:

Recently abandoned by her cheating husband, Chloe (Florence Loiret-Caille) and her two young daughters are spirited away to a remote cabin by her father-in-law, Pierre (Daniel Auteuil). Over the course of the night, Pierre shares an important secret with her. He reveals his love for Mathilde (Marie-Josee Croze), a woman he met 20 years ago but didnt dare abandon everything to be with, choosing instead a safer and more familiar path. Reflecting on his choice and its dramatic consequences, he attempts to help his daughter-in-law understand and overcome her pain - to show her that its better to abandon yourself to passion than to live in a union without love. Adapted from the novel by Anna Gavalda, and directed by Zabou Breitman, Someone I Loved is an exquisitely told and heartbreaking flight of fancy.

Someone I loved (Je L'Aimais) is based on the best-selling novel by Anna Gavalda. It's the story of Pierre (Daniel Auteuil), who takes his daughter-in-law, Chloe (Florence Loiret Caille) and two small granddaughters to the family chalet to stay following a family crisis. Pierre's son, Adrian, has abruptly dumped his wife and children, and Chloe who 'never saw it coming' is so emotionally devastated, Pierre thinks it's wise to take her away somewhere quiet for a few days until she stabilizes.

A man takes his daughter-in-law away to the countryside, as her husband has just left her. Confronted with the sorrow of the young woman, the rather reserved father-in-law reveals to her his secret love life.
