Two Is a Family (French: Demain tout commence) is a 2016 French comedy-drama film remake of the Mexican film Instructions Not Included (No se Aceptan Devoluciones),[2] directed by Hugo Gélin and starring Omar Sy.[3]

Plot[]

Samuel (Omar Sy), runner, party-goer and womanizer, lives by the sea in the south of France. Unattached, his lifestyle changes the day when Kristin (Clémence Poésy), a former fling, places his three-month-old daughter Gloria in his arms. Unable to take care of her, he embarks on a trip to London, in order to return Gloria to her mother. He loses track of Kristin, does not have a penny in his pocket and does not speak a word of English. Fortunately, he meets Bernie (Antoine Bertrand), a gay Frenchman who works in the film industry and offers him a stunt job.

Samuel eventually learns the trade of stuntman and father. When all of Gloria's girlfriends at school have a mother, Samuel creates an imaginary secret agent mother, who corresponds with her on the Internet.

One day, when Gloria is eight, her real mother shows up from New York with her companion and a new maternal instinct, asking to take her back across the Atlantic.
