Jacques, an inconsolable widower approaching his 80th birthday, is in a morose mood.
His daughter Isabelle, who can no longer see him hanging out on her sofa, ends up placing him in a retirement home in the Bay of Somme.
He takes this decision very badly but lights up when he meets Rose, a sunny and intrepid boarder of the same age as him, who will quickly seduce him.
Their romantic relationship, far from being platonic, will give the young lovers freshness and a feeling of freedom.
But they will find it difficult to impose their idyll in the face of a sanitized institution which tends to infantilize its subjects.
It is, in fact, all those around them who risk being shaken.
