She&#8217;s worked her whole life and has nothing to show for it. She&#8217;s unemployed and can&#8217;t find a job. A single mother, she lives with her teenage son in a dismal low-income housing project on the outskirts of Paris, where she&#8217;s ill at ease and has no friends. As if that weren&#8217;t enough, she&#8217;s now called in to meet with her banker. Saddled with skyrocketing credit card debt, she&#8217;s forced to hand over her checkbook and debit card on the spot, just a few days before Christmas&#8230; a turn of events that leads to decisions that don&#8217;t necessarily make for the happiest of holidays. In Nicole&#8217;s mind, she&#8217;s hopeless, a major screw-up. But sometimes you can find meaning in life right in your own backyard. Sometimes you have to reach out and make your own happiness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Morgan Simon<\/strong> studied screenwriting at La F\u00e9mis film school\u00a0in Paris.
