In a village, Michelle is waiting for her daughter Valérie to drop off her grandson for the All Saints' Day holidays. While waiting for Lucas, she leads a peaceful retired life alongside her close friend Marie-Claude. However, Valérie's arrival turns everything upside down and uncovers secrets that are far from peaceful. Ozon returns to noir cinema and brilliantly pairs Hélène Vincent with Josiane Balasko, with a touch of Ludivine Sagnier, in a film reminiscent of the provincial darkness of Swimming Pool. After the farce of Mon crime, Ozon directs his formidable duo of actresses through a dramatic lens. The filmmaker revisits the twists of his earlier works, crafting a plot that continually surprises.
