Philippe, a sailor, finishes a sailing race around the world, solo and nonstop. After this tour of the world, Philippe can no longer resume the rhythm of everyday life with his wife Lucie and son Vincent.

A luminous, unsentimental portrayal of a charismatic, indefatigable woman, and of the lives (and one death) of the personalities and conditions (including Alzheimer’s) of the elderly residents of the retirement home she administers outside Paris. A film full of love, caring, dignity, pain and joy, sadness and laughter, and remarkable faces. Invigorating and inspiring. ~ Full Frame Documentary Film Festival
