Release date : 18/02/2021

Portrait of a modern-day woman, a nurse, in her early forties, in the Pyrenees, deeply moved by the appeal of an old man suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.

Aurore knows how much her work as a home care nurse, however routine and difficult it may be, acts as a soothing balm for her patients. And against the emotional wasteland of her life. Aurore raises Nils, her teenage son, alone and over the years, she has pieced herself back together in this small village. By burying the tragedy that destroyed her previous life and by protecting herself from the games of love. Even if Dr. Verdier is quite smitten with her... One day, Aurore reads a classified ad: « Elderly man who is not willing to spend the rest of his life alone or in a retirement home is looking for a companion or a family who would adopt him.” Noël is inconsolable since the death of his wife and he often goes to visit her grave, which he adorns with small origami violets and calls up his bright but increasingly scattered memories. Around Nils, Aurore and the old manÂ establish a deep connection and open up to new beginnings. And if Noël no longer expects much from life, Aurore still has a lot to achieve. For her alone from now on and not for others?
