The House

Malo is a forty-something father of three children who is in the process of getting a divorce. One day, whilst out with his friends Rémi and Nathalie, he notices a house which is due to be sold at auction. The house, a solitary building far from the busy town, intrigues him and he goes inside. In the bare living room, he finds a letter, a letter written by a small girl named Cloé to her father. Moved by the letter, Malo makes enquiries and tracks down the woman who wrote it, many years ago. Cloé and her sister have been forced to sell their house after their father died leaving them with a stack of debts. Malo realises that the house still means a great deal to Cloé so he decides to attend the auction to buy it for her. Unfortunately, Cloé’s former neighbour is just as determined to get his hands on the house and the land that surrounds it… —Filmsdefrance
