(When Jacques’ daughter puts him in a high-end seaside retirement home, he thinks he’s being put out to pasture. Until he meets Rose, a vibrant, beautiful septuagenarian with whom he immediately falls madly in love… and tirelessly lusts after. Albeit, with subtlety and tenderness, but totally without taboos. However, their love affair wreaks havoc in the home, and deeply shakes the lives of everyone around them — their families, the staff, the management and the other residents. Yet, galvanized by their love and desire, Jacques and Rose are determined to live out their late-in-life passion against all odds, overcoming the small inconveniences and major obstacles in their path.)
