It was better yesterday

In a small French town, Hélène and Michel lead a happy and carefree life with their two children in the 1950s. Their lives revolve around the traditional values of the time: Michel is the head of the family, whilst Hélène knows her place as a wife and mother. But everything changes when the family unexpectedly finds themselves in the year 2025.

As old beliefs clash with new ideas, tensions, frustrations and hidden desires come to the surface. Their journey through time forces Hélène and Michel to take a fresh look not only at the modern world, but also at themselves.
