Lucky One

Vincent works long nights in Paris’s underworld. He has long since stopped dreaming of another life, but when he unexpectedly becomes responsible for his teenage daughter, Adina, his existence gains a new light. He has never taken care of a child before, and he is torn between the destructive tasks he is forced to perform at night and the desire to be a good father. One day something happens that makes this precarious situation come to a head. The film is a poetic meditation on how love and violence can exist within the same person. It is a story of Vincent but also a story of our times, where Vincent could be you or me.
