It takes will power, courage and determination to realise a dream. But most of all it takes family. This is the tag line of the French film Couscous. It is about a Father who is made redundant in a small port in the south of France. Not knowing what to do, he decides to follow his dream of opening a restaurant in a boat, which serves couscous and fish. He does this without any professional or financial help. It is in the end his disjointed family, he is divorced from his wife and it is she who makes the couscous, and friends who save the day. As with all French films they manage to get characters who are real characters. The Americans think we have bad teeth, but these people could keep me in business for many years! It is perhaps overlong at 151 mins. The ending is sad but you do feel you have met real people.
