Jim's Story

Le Roman de Jim (2024) — watch online on iFILM: a French drama by brothers Arnaud and Jean-Marie Larrieu, starring Karim Leklou and Laetitia Dosch.

One evening in a small Haut-Jura town, Aymeric runs into Florence, a former coworker who is six months pregnant and alone. He stays. Jim is born, years go by, and the three of them become something that looks and feels like a family — until Jim's biological father Christophe reappears and upends the arrangement nobody had bothered to name.

Directors Arnaud and Jean-Marie Larrieu sidestep the custody-drama template entirely. What they're after is quieter: the weight of a bond with no legal backing, and the way a man holds on to fatherhood when the ground under it shifts. Stream Jim's Story online on iFILM.
