DARK FORTUNE

When eight-year-old Yves is the sole survivor of his family after a devastating car crash, his future hangs in the balance. Yves begs to avoid custody with his complicated extended family and instead clings to his therapist Eliane for her kind words and trusting heart. Their bond forms quickly, each becoming more vulnerable as Eliane watches Yves struggle to find a new normal. While Eliane and her grown daughters attempt to help Yves come to terms with the horrific accident and grieve the loss of his family, these women are forced to confront the traumas of their own broken family, which they each manage to painfully suppress. Based on the novel Finsteres Glück by Lukas Hartmann, DARK FORTUNE reveals the raw emotions we face in the midst of tragedy and the relationships we lean on when we have no other choice but to let go and move on.
