"We will love each other a lot," is the new series of France 2 on the background of quirky comedy staging family life and professional life, between romantic situations and "legal drama" because it s is the life of lawyers, mother and daughters working together. Worn by actresses Catherine Marchal and Ophelia Kolb, the series is fresh and modern.
The story ? Astrid and Audrey are mother and daughter, lawyers specializing in family law. They have made the bet to work together and sometimes the collaboration can be complicated. In their daily work, the files follow each other and are not alike, and in their intimate life, adventures succeed each other with comical situations and moving moments.
The reflection of our society today
The refreshing series that everyone imagines the great success, to the point that the season 2 is already launched, speaks of the family through legal affairs handled by the duo of lawyers based in a firm in Lyon.
The actresses embody characters with different situations to identify easily. First, there is the mother-daughter bond, sometimes strong, sometimes tense, the link between colleagues where opinions can diverge, and the link with our current society with the staging of a profession confronted by the different people who constitute the world, from a senior person to a person in difficulty. Authors Emmanuelle Rey-Magnan and Pascal Fontanille say: "We saw a family judge who explained that he saw both homeless people and the President of the Republic. It was a way for us to talk about today's society. "
Another modern touch: mother and daughter are like a couple, because there is no father. Catherine Marchal explained to Allociné: "They have lived together for a very long time and know each other by heart, and at times they reverse the roles and the mother becomes the girl ". The relationship is strong, but difficult given its past, which will be evoked over the episodes.
Highlighting women in today's society
For this new series of France 2, the authors were also inspired by one of their meetings with a lawyer who created a cabinet composed of 99% women. If the series is a reflection of our society through the business handled by lawyers, it is also reflected in the promotion of women in their professional and personal lives. Funny, touching and warm, the lawyers embodied by Catherine Marchal and Ophélia Kolb unveil women's lives, the way they organize themselves between their work and their private lives.
Through the episodes, one is forced to question the place of the woman of today in the society, between her desire to build a beautiful career, and her desire to be fulfilled in her family life. The series will feature Audrey, the girl, who learns that she is pregnant with her third child and who will find herself overwhelmed by the guilt and judgment of her invasive mother-in-law. In the series, women are modern women, free, uninhibited, who take their life in hand despite doubts and fears. Catherine Marchal told our colleagues at TV Magazine: "They are characters who are a little bit double, who have flaws, their lives are not as smooth as they seem." Each heroine has a strong personality, one is rigid, while the other is more dreamy. Last important character, the lawyer Sofia who joins the duo mother-daughter, colorful woman who promises laughter ...
If "We will love a little, a lot", we enter a feminine world, men are not forgotten, they even have an important role. Seen through women, they contribute as much as they do to the plot, like Paul, Audrey's husband, not very active at home, and prosecutor Eric who falls in love with Audrey.
