Mael Drezen’s naturalistic dramedy follows five retired former amateur theatre performers who move into a Breton house to try the experience of béguinage. Over the course of a year in Penmarc’h, their shared life is shaped by old wounds, clashing habits, and the quiet challenge of learning to live together again. The film balances humor and melancholy, drawing strength from the landscape of Finistère as these characters seek new roots and a second chance, both on stage and in life.
