Director Jean Becker and his cast and equally talented crew give us a simple and elegant masterpiece about the love shared by two friends.
Robin Clifford, Reeling Reviews
A successful, fifty-something Parisian artist goes back to his roots and returns to provincial France and the house he grew up in. Completely by chance, the first applicant for the job of gardener turns out to be an old school friend whom he hasn’t seen since childhood. As they spend time in each other’s company, the painter builds up an impressionist’s canvas of a man who first intrigues and then amazes him by his honest and simple view of the world. His value system involves one simple criteria which serves as a standard by which he judges people and things: common sense. And so they enjoy a kind of belated brotherly adolescence and by seeing everything through each other’s eyes, they each see the world anew. A beautiful and touching tale of friendship that is as captivating and simple as a love story.
