SYNOPSIS

For Yrène, life starts again at 50. She divorces, goes to work in a factory, finds herself alone once more. At 60 she finds a job as a housekeeper with an old civil servant who marries her. He dies leaving her an apartment in a quiet house in Berne. At 70, lightning strikes: she sees Raoul again – a childhood friend that she has not met for 50 years. Love, happiness, walks: they end their days together.
