The film turns on a retired professor in his 70s who is leading a serene life in a nice house, with a decent pension, friends to joke around with, and a lady with whom he spends some time. But then his life gets “turned upside down by the arrival of his daughter, in a marital crisis, and her two unwieldy grandchildren,” says the provided synopsis. This arrival prompts New worries, new anxieties, but also new affections. And so begins an adventure into the love lives of others, and into his own.
