Speaking about the film, Simon told the Independent: 'The thing about Hector is that he sets out to find out what makes people happy but he is really trying to find out what makes him happy, because he has no happiness.

He added: 'A lot of us still go through life regarding love and sex as we did when we were seven. And we take that into adulthood.'

The film is adapted from the 2002 debut novel by François Lelord, a French psychiatrist.

Simon and Rosmund were joined at the screening by Tracy Anne Oberman, Barry Atsma and Togo Igawa, who also star in the film, as well as director Peter Chelsom.
