A warm, gently comedic drama about a man reluctantly returning to his village roots after his father's stroke, discovering reconnection and new love amid small-town rhythms.

Antoine Sforza, a thirty-year-old young man, left his village ten years before in order to start a new life in the big city, but now that his father, a traveling grocer, is in hospital after a stroke, he more or less reluctantly accepts to come back to replace him in his daily rounds.
