Synopsis

Nathalie Lapointe, on the verge of turning forty, is a single mother with three kids. She’s also a well-known columnist at a major daily newspaper. Just as she’s starting to think she can pay a little more attention to her own needs, she gets terrible news: the cancer from which she’s been in remission for two years is back. How can she break it to her kids? How can the family contemplate the future with this sword of Damocles hanging over them? Nathalie’s situation profoundly affects her three siblings. Their priorities change at a time when all of them face crucial decisions about their emotional and professional lives. For Nathalie’s parents, Janine and Gérard, none of this makes sense. How can it be possible that their child will die before them?

Nouvelle adresse is an audacious series about a normal family whose world is overturned from one day to the next. Family members must stick together and learn to adapt, because, despite everything, life goes on. Facing the uncertainty and fragility of life, each family member confronts moments of wrenching truth. Of resignation, but also of hope. Of rage, but also of love.
