At first glance, the title feels like a fairy tale. But this is no fairy godmother’s spell. It is, in fact, a literary and cinematic touchstone: the basis for the acclaimed 2012 French-Belgian film Un bonheur n’arrive jamais seul (released in English as Happiness Never Comes Alone ), written and directed by James Huth.

However, the title’s promise of happiness is immediately undercut by a shadow. The wife, Fadma, falls ill. The story transitions from a pastoral idyll into a heart-wrenching account of a husband watching his other half slip away.
