Balgium’s submission to A Week of French Language Cinema is Guillaume Senez’s “Nos batailles” (Our Sturggles).
Olivier does the best he can to fight injustice at work. But from one day to the next, when his wife Laura abandons the family home, he is left alone to juggle between the children’s needs, life’s daily challenges and his job. Faced with these new responsibilities, he struggles to find a balance. Because Laura’s not coming back.

“”..the feature outlines the tenderly humanistic worldview of Senez, whose characters aren’t bad people and whose cinema doesn’t judge but observes and lets audiences make up their own minds about the state of the world we live in, both inside our homes and outside.” ”
