Georges and Anne are two retired music teachers in
their eighties. Their daughter, Eva, who is also a musician, lives abroad with
her family. One day, Anne has an attack. The couple's bond of love is severely
tested.
This is probably the most concise plot outline of the
year. Behold; there are no master plots
to deceive or give a spin to some weird relationship; there are no unnecessary
complexities of the modern drama; there is a pure emotion flying, that is,
love. The plot outline, however concise, actually tells it all – and says
nothing at the same time. Yes, it is the story of struggle. It is the story of
a man who watches his love fading away. It is the story of a woman who suffers
even more as she helplessly waits for her consciousness to leave her. It is the
story of a woman who witnesses tragedy of love and can do absolutely nothing to
help, forced to the sidelines to observe her parents in the battle against death
which they are waging alone.
