The original version was aimed to be shot in France and in French. The title, which loses completely its French double-meaning, has been replaced by 1975. Instead of dealing with the French-Algerian war that ended in 1962, the new story focuses on the Vietnam war, which officially ended in 1975. Production is forecast for Spring 10. (Check Pre-Production Page). The new version follows a guilt-ridden old woman, Mary Rae, who after years of alienation with her daughter, Faith, desperately tries to reconnect with her. Problems arise when Faith refuses to allow her mother in her life. Instead, Mary Rae finds herself under the care of a middle-aged Asian woman. Mary Rae never recovered from her son's death during the Algeria in 1962. The co-habitation and the quest for her daughter only marks the beginning of a painful journey towards awareness and acceptance.
