Retraité contemplatif, Germain se retrouve soudainement veuf à 75 ans. Il n’a même pas le temps de souffler que sa famille s’immisce dans son quotidien : visites et appels incessants, repas organisés à l’avance... Sa vie devient réglée comme une montre suisse ! Mais Germain a l’esprit ailleurs. Honorant une promesse faite à son épouse, il est propulsé au cœur d’une création de danse contemporaine...

Cinema

Germain, an introspective retiree, abruptly becomes a widower at 75. He barely has the time to realize what has happened to him before his family forces their way into his daily life: non-stop phone calls and visits, meals and activities organized in advance – all meant to make his life as regular as clockwork. But Germain’s mind is elsewhere. Honoring a promise he made to his dear departed wife, he suddenly finds himself at the heart of a contemporary dance company’s newest work.
