At 18, Claire is torn between swim practice and the pangs of first love. The elderly and eccentric Maurice Reverdy takes her in in his big house, but the girl carefully avoids this faraway figure, who is none other than her grandfather. Proud, rebellious, solitary, they represent two generations that are simultaneously attracted to and repelled by one another. Their lives will intertwine, as one seeks out her future and the other is tormented by his past.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a delicate drama of coming-of-age and growing old, relying on the unspoken tension between its two leads. It explores not plot twists, but the space between words and glances where real understanding takes root.

What lingers after the final frame is a profound sense of quiet connection forged across a generational divide. It’s a patient, tactile study of solitude and the fragile bridges we build. — MovieFinder Editorial
