Premiered out of competition at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival in 2017.
The story follows (Catherine Frot), a dedicated and tightly wound midwife who takes great pride in her work. Her life is upended when she is contacted by Béatrice (Catherine Deneuve), the free-spirited former mistress of Claire's late father. Béatrice has returned after 30 years with the news that she has brain cancer and needs support.
The film juxtaposes Claire's disciplined, teetotal, and non-smoking life with Béatrice’s decadent, hedonistic approach.
As Claire's small maternity clinic faces closure due to modern hospital expansion, she must navigate her resistance to institutional change while reconciling with the hedonistic woman she blames for her father's past unhappiness.
