On a tranquil Sunday in the French countryside, a celebrated writer returns to his provincial home and crosses paths with a young visitor whose presence unsettles the quiet of his life. Through long, gently observed conversations and shared silences over tea and light, memory and longing rise to the surface, revealing regrets and tenderness. Bertrand Tavernier crafts a refined, humane drama about aging, desire, and the passage of time, anchored by luminous imagery and restrained performances.
