Belle Douleur (Beautiful Pain)

Elizabeth, a self-made woman in her late 40s, is bent on living on her own for the rest of her days. After her mother passes from years of suffering from a lingering illness, she meets Jon, a man 20 years her junior, who convinces her that love knows no age and that there are no limits to life’s starts. They embark on a May-December affair that is very promising, until Liz realizes that Jon has dreams that she cannot be part of.

Belle Douleur tells the story of a woman’s journey of finding happiness as she breaks free from the confines of society that shackles women.
