The Only One
Series: New Directors/New Films [March 21 - April 1 2007]
Director: Geoffrey Enthoven, Country: Belgium, Release: 2006, Runtime: 88

Living unhappily with his daughter Gerda after his wife’s death, Lucien (Nany Buyl, one of Belgium’s most renowned actors) is determined to return to an independent life in his own home. But that isn’t so easy. Everyone has plans for Lucien, including Mathilde, his best friend’s wife, with whom he has had a longstanding affair. When his much younger neighbor, Sylvia, arrives on the scene and—to Lucien’s surprise—seems to take an interest in him, all kinds of possibilities emerge. Directed by Geoffrey Enthoven with a decidedly light touch, The Only One is that rare film about aging that completely avoids sentimentality.

A graduate of Belgium’s KASK film academy, Geoffrey Enthoven made his feature film debut in 2001 with the documentary, Children of Love, an international film festival hit. The Only One is his first fictional feature film.
