2019100 min5.9 / 10

A whimsical, character-driven comedy about a widow's disruptive arrival into a family's insular world, catalyzing growth and rediscovery through absurdist situations and genuine human connection.

Pierre Perdrix has been enjoying an enchanted though restless existence since the enigmatic Juliette Webb burst into his life, a stranger who landed in his family's unique world like a meteorite, and who by her presence alone will force this tight-knit microcosm to redefie their boundaries and finally begin to fully live their lives.
