A warm, gently comedic portrait of rural French life and male friendship in the aftermath of World War I, grounded in nostalgia and the quiet rhythms of provincial existence.

The film is set in Marais, a quiet region along the banks of Loire river in 1918. Riton is afflicted with a bad-tempered wife and three unruly children. Garris lives alone with his recollections of World War I trenches. Their daily life consists of seasonal work and visits from their two pals: Tane, the local train conductor and Amédée, a dreamer and voracious reader of classics.
