Marie Cissé works as a head chef at a retirement home in a small French town. Her carefree daily life—caring for the residents, spending time with her colleague and best friend Nadia, and looking forward to a possible new romance—is threatened with upheaval by the arrival of Father Patrick: she recognizes the African priest as the person responsible for a terrible event in her homeland in Africa. As he grows increasingly popular with the residents and staff, Marie must decide how to deal with this traumatic memory from her past. “In her captivating debut film, screenwriter and director Ellie Foumbi powerfully weaves together themes such as identity, memory, trauma, and the possibility of a second chance.” (Alliance of Women Film Journalists)
