Stéphane Robelin strikes at a subject rarely featured in the history of cinema - however one that is very much a by-product of contemporary society: seniors’ dependence.

Annie (Géraldine Chaplin), Jean (Guy Bedos), Claude (Claude Rich), Albert (Pierre Richard) and Jeanne (Jane Fonda) have been friends for more than 40 years. So when memories let them down, heart rates quicken and the rest-home’s ghost appears, they rebel and decide to live all together. The plan sounds crazy but even if the lack of privacy is disturbing and brings back old memories, an amazing adventure starts!

But house sharing is not always easy and sometimes ambitions and desires can make it really chaotic. Did they finally make the right choice?

“Friendship, solidarity, fraternity” could be the catch phrase of this tender comedy but also the answer to the increased ageing dilemma in the western countries.
