Directed by Nelly Kaplan • 1979 • France
Starring Daniel Ceccaldi, Ginette Garcin, Georges Claisse
Nelly Kaplan brings wry humor and a touch of the surreal to this delightfully eccentric portrait of Charles (Daniel Ceccaldi) and Lucie (Ginette Garcin), a middle-aged couple whose marriage has long gone stale. Their humdrum routine is upended when they receive word that they have inherited a luxurious villa on the Côte d’Azur, leading them on a wild journey to the South of France full of colorful encounters and unexpected changes of fortune.
