A drama about Marie-Lou, director of an elderly care facility, who champions a care philosophy built on listening and residents' dignity despite resistance from part of her staff. Her meeting with Mari, a Japanese theatre director battling cancer, deeply reshapes her path. The two women form a deep bond of attention and support, joining forces to 'make the impossible possible.' Ryusuke Hamaguchi directs, with Virginie Efira and Tao Okamoto, jointly awarded Best Actress at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival.
