“Michelle” (Hélène Vincent) lives a solitary life in her rural home where she is eagerly anticipating the imminent arrival of her daughter “Valérie” (Ludvine Sagnier) and the apple of her eye, grandson “Lucas” (Garlan Erlos who morphs, uncannily, into the older Paul Beaurepaire). In preparation for this visit, she goes with best friend “Marie-Claude” (Josiane Balasko) to pick mushrooms. This latter lady has problems of her own, with her son “Vincent” (Pierre Lottin) currently incarcerated for a crime we know little about. Anyway, when the family arrive it becomes clear that the mother/daughter relationship isn’t that great - a situation borne from how “Michelle” made her living and of her daughter’s impending divorce and that only worsens when a dodgy mushroom leaves one in hospital and “Michelle” essentially barred from seeing “Lucas”. Meanwhile, “Vincent” gets out of jail so “Michelle” kindly gives him a job managing her extensive garden and that’s when he overhears a conversation between the two women that demonstrates the level of frustrating despair felt by the now estranged grandmother. He decides to see if he can help, with tragic results that end up - well is it a whodunnit or is not? Is it an intricate web of considered scheming or just an accident and some coincidences? It’s that element of uncertainty, coupled with strong performances from just about everyone than makes this story worth watching. There are questions asked that aren’t directly answered, we are encouraged to conclude or assume but given some quite conflicting clues to keep us interested and by the conclusion of the film there’s even the vaguest hint of a winking bromance! The photography and the audio mixing are gently effective and the film, though at times a little repetitive, delivers us a poignant look at loneliness, stigma, loyalty and love.
