Character Relationships in Regrets

Mathieu Lievin (played by Yvan Attal) is a protagonist in Regrets. Mathieu Lievin is the central figure, summoned when his mother enters a coma and later facing her death, family debts, and pressure to sell the house. He reconnects with Maya, his former love, while married to Lisa and pursuing architectural work, torn between domestic stability, ambition, and unresolved regret. Maya (played by Valeria Bruni Tedeschi) appears in Regrets. Maya is Mathieu's former college love, now living in the countryside with her daughter and preparing to work in viticulture with Franck. She renews contact with Mathieu, revisits their painful separation, attends his mother's funeral, and later admits through messages that she still misses him. Lisa (played by Arly Jover) appears in Regrets. Lisa is Mathieu's wife and the partner representing his present domestic life. She questions the financial risks of accepting an ambitious architectural project they cannot easily afford, while Mathieu becomes increasingly distracted by Maya and by the possibility of changing his stable but unsettled life. Antoine (played by François Négret) appears in Regrets. Antoine is Mathieu's brother, living overseas and able to return only if Mathieu pays for his ticket. After their mother's death, he pressures Mathieu to sell the family house to address debts, creating further tension as Mathieu initially refuses despite serious financial problems. Franck (played by Philippe Katerine) appears in Regrets. Franck is connected to Maya's new life in the countryside, where she is preparing to work in viticulture with him. Although he has limited direct presence in the story, his association with Maya's plans emphasizes the different path she has built after her earlier relationship with Mathieu.
