Second Chance

Abandoned by her husband after 18 years of marriage, Alice has to fend for herself and her two adolescent children for the first time in her life. Thanks to an old friend, she finds a job in an advertising agency where she has to fight in order to survive, and face every challenge if she wants to be a winner.

For 18 years now, Alice has been leading a model life as housewife and mother of two. Having married young, she never learned a profession or worked outside the home. Then, unexpectedly, her husband Mathieu leaves her, and Life As She Knew It ends. She's now forced to go out into the world and fend for herself. Luckily, she's got two great kids who support her unflaggingly despite their own adolescent turmoils. And she's lucky enough to get a job in a top advertising agency. But that's where her luck ends. Her old friend Laetitia, one of the firm's executives and a tigress in designer clothes, allegedly hires her to help her; but Laetitia has never forgotten that her one-time boyfriend Mathieu left her for Alice years ago. And Laetitia isn't someone who forgives easily...
"Second Chance" is gripping in its depiction of the dog-eat-dog advertising world and emotionally intense in its treatment of Alice's relationship with her children and co-workers. But its basic atmosphere is always positive and optimistic. Shot in High Definition, the daily series boasts a cast of about 30 recurring characters. As lead actress Caroline Veyt puts it, the program has "a light tone" and remains "first and foremost a comedy."
