Synopsis

Twentysomething student Guillaume travels to Paris every fortnight to stay with his grandma Regine. They have a rocky yet loving relationship. Guillaume's troubled mother died a couple of years earlier, so grandma basically raised him from a young boy. Now Mom's ashes are sitting on Regine's balcony and neither survivor can face disposing of them properly. Enter Maxime, a college student earning money cleaning apartments. Over Guillaume's objections, Regine hires Maxime, and the two quickly grow to enjoy each other's company. Guillaume soon relaxes around Maxime, and finally decides to properly scatter his mother's remains.
