Director of a care facility for the elderly, Marie-Lou strives to introduce an innovative care philosophy based on listening and respecting residents’ dignity, despite resistance from part of her staff. Her encounter with Mari - Japanese theater director battling cancer - will profoundly reshape her path. By forming a deep, supportive friendship, the two women join forces in a shared struggle to ‘make the impossible possible’. Best Actress at Cannes 2026 was shared by Virginie Efira and Tao Okamoto.
‘It's like watching a form of cinematic therapy because what it tells us is that no matter how much life may bring us down, something as simple as a hug or a conversation between friends can make all of that feel like it goes away, even if just for a fleeting moment’. (Voicemag.uk)
