La petite chambre
Fiction, 87 min.
Coproduction with Swiss director
| Title E: | The Little Room |
by Stéphanie Chuat, Véronique Reymond
Switzerland / Luxembourg, August 2010
This is a story of the heart. Edmond's is no longer strong. But it still beats with an independence which fights against the very idea of entering a retirement home, while at the same time refusing help from Rose, his home carer. Nonetheless she stands up to him. She knows the tumult that a heart undergoes when it is forced to accept the unacceptable. Hers hasn't yet healed. One day however, a bad fall forces Edmond to accept Rose's support.
