Synopsis
Nothing should have drawn them to one another: Rose is a young and pretty domiciliary nurse, who still has life ahead of her, when Edmond is a grumpy, partially sighted, obnoxious octagerian, living alone in his appartment and caring only for classical music and his numerous plants. Yet a friendship grows, between this woman who lost her identity as a mother, and this man who fights to keep the last shreds of his dignity.
