I watched this French series courtesy of Walter Presents on channel 4, with subtitles. It is set mostly in Biarritz but partly in Antwerp and involves a woman,Florence, who has a heart transplant and seeks out the donors family. She meets the father, Simon, of the young woman, Ana, who died in a car crash. The father thinks that it was not an accident and, improbably, enlists the help of Florence to find evidence for the police to open an investigation. Only a short time after her transplant she is rushing around like an olympic athelete, so well done to the French health service.
Meanwhile we have some domestic drama with Florence and her husband , Vincent, in constant dispute with their adopted 15 year old daughter, Zoe. Coincidentally, of course, Simons daughter, Ana, is also adopted. To add to the plot Zoe is black with a 25year old boy friend so we have some racial tension and paedo issues thrown in to the pot.
We also get frequent short flashbacks of Ana's life before her death which tells yet another story.
It all sounds a bit complicated and contrived but is actually well worth viewing, and with just six 40 minute episodes it moves at a good pace.
