Loving grandmother Michelle is enjoying a peaceful retirement in Burgundy. When her antagonistic daughter and young grandson come to visit, family ties are tested in this twisty and destabilizing thriller from master stylist Francois Ozon.
After a tumultuous life in Paris, Michelle (Hélène Vincent) has retired to a quiet existence in Burgundy, tending her garden and attending services at her parish.
The voracious hostility of her adult daughter Valérie (Ludivine Sagnier) remains Michelle’s great puzzlement: how can a child for whom she sacrificed so much treat her with such contempt and suspicion?
When Valérie drops off her son for a week with his grandmother, Michelle sees an opportunity to repair the relationship, but a culinary accident soon undercuts whatever trust remains.
With the help of her best friend Marie-Claude (Josiane Blasko) whose son (Pierre Lottin) has recently been released from prison, Michelle plots a path towards restoring the family life so long denied her.
With a deceptively placid surface, master stylist Francois Ozon cooks up a twisty and destabilising thriller where family ties remain the most mysterious ingredient of all.
