Review Summary and Plot Commentary about 18 Years Later
18 ANS APRES (18 years later) is a film written and directed by the French director Coline Serreau in 2003. The movie is the sequel of "Three Men and a Cradle (1985)" with the same actors.

Marie is 18 now and has to pass her final exams. She still lives in Paris with her three fathers -Pierre, Michel and Jacques- who have dedicated their lives to her. Marie's mother comes from the U.S.A. with her new husband and his two sons. Everybody will stay a few weeks in the French countryside. As Marie falls in love with one of the American boys, her "fathers" become anxious, because they can't imagine life without Marie.
