The story takes place in Carhaix, in the heart of Brittany. A small hospital, with a calm maternity clinic, where few births take place. Mathilde, a mid-wife, Firmine, a pediatric nurse, and Louise, the owner of the Carhaix bowling alley, are all friends and lead a happy existence. Catherine, director of the establishment's Human Resources, is sent to restructure the hospital and, most importantly, to eventually shut down the maternity clinic, which is losing money. Four women whose age, personalities, and origins are different, but who will form a quartet overflowing with humanity and humor as they join forces to save the clinic. Life, love, friendship, Brittany and... bowling.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a gentle comedy from the clash between spreadsheet-driven efficiency and the messy warmth of provincial life. It relies on the charm of its cast and witty dialogue to turn a story of bureaucratic restructuring into a tale of local solidarity and unexpected friendship.

What lingers after the credits is the quiet triumph of community spirit over cold calculation. It’s a reminder that saving a place sometimes means saving a piece of your soul. — MovieFinder Editorial
