Bowling
Directed by Marie-Castille Mention-Schaar
Produced by Loma Nasha, Pathé
A warm, character-driven comedy about four women of different ages and backgrounds uniting to save a beloved hospital maternity clinic, grounded in friendship, humor, and small-town French life.
The story takes place in Carhaix, in the heart of Brittany. A small hospital, with a calm maternity clinic, where few births take place. Mathilde, a mid-wife, Firmine, a pediatric nurse, and Louise, the owner of the Carhaix bowling alley, are all friends and lead a happy existence. Catherine, director of the establishment's Human Resources, is sent to restructure the hospital and, most importantly, to eventually shut down the maternity clinic, which is losing money. Four women whose age, personalities, and origins are different, but who will form a quartet overflowing with humanity and humor as they join forces to save the clinic. Life, love, friendship, Brittany and... bowling.
