There is one thing that Nicole, who is soon turning fifty, would have loved to be spared, is to learn that the symptoms that have been ruining her life for some time are not those of a latent menopause, but those of a real pregnancy! What a drag…

Nicole's pregnancy test is conclusive: she is pregnant. At fifty-four, Nicole is anything but prepared for this discovery. Down-to-earth and pragmatic, not prone to despair or doubt, she usually strives to be the pillar of a family on which everyone ultimately depends. With her full-time job as a toll booth cashier, she manages to feed her little world and keep the house running. But this news shakes the family a little.

Twig, Cap and Rusty live however they can in the Bois de Vincennes, east of Paris. This may completely change the day they learn they are the national lottery winner – though it is less than expected! Yet, they still need to collect the money and share it in equal parts. The hardest part of all will be to resume a “normal” life, filled with surprises and contradictions.

A Special Relationship opens with war photographer Virginie Faure walking through the corpse-ridden streets of a deserted, bombed-out city and saving a child's life, eventually with the help of fellow-journalist Damian Gaudry. So begins a fortuitous, head-over-heels love story in the midst of death and utter chaos. But it's only after Virginie discovers she's pregnant that things slowly begin to spiral out of control, and she loses her emotional bearings.
