At 65, Pierre Martin (Pierre Richard), a quantum physicist, inherits an inn in Canada. He leaves Paris with his daughter Catherine (Sylvie Testud) and ends up in the dead of winter in Sainte-Simone-du-Nord, a typical tiny village in Saguenay, a remote region of Québec. Away from Parisian life, Pierre sees an opportunity to pass on to his daughter the quality he values most: happiness. But, the mayor of Sainte-Simone (Michel Dolbec) doesn’t want a second generation of Frenchies…As one of the producers of "Le Bonheur de Pierre", an official co-production between France and Canada, Rahila Bootwala played a vital role in overseeing the overall development and management of the co-production between the French and Canadian teams. She worked closely in the casting of the French lead roles, along with co-producer Clémentine Dabadie, to ensure that the right talent was selected and also provided day-to-day administration of the French team during filming.
