Michelle enjoys a peaceful retirement in a small Burgundy village near her longtime friend Marie-Claude. She eagerly anticipates her grandson Lucas spending the school vacation with her, but an unfortunate mistake overturns these plans. Michelle loses her sense of purpose, until Marie-Claude's son gets out of prison.

"This spry little French-language picture shows the director at his most understated, the better to foreground the excellent, intriguingly layered performance from Hélène Vincent.”
