Vivre! (2009)
Directed by Yvon Marciano

Drama

Film Synopsis

Mathieu was only forty when he died, but he had no shortage of friends, judging by the surprisingly large turn-out at his funeral.  Seven of the people who have come to pay their last respects were convinced he or she was Mathieu's only friend.  All in their early twenties, these seven - four boys and three girls - take comfort in each other's company and out of their collective grief new relationships are miraculously forged.  Mathieu's dramatic passing turns out to be a cause not for sad sorrow but for joyous celebration, as the ones he leaves behind acquire a renewed zest for living.  Mathieu's lamenting friends suddenly discover what life is for, and as one life ends others begin in earnest...
