Film Synopsis
Jeanne Millet is a forty-something film director who has been stuck in a
creative impasse for some time. It is with some trepidation that she
returns to the region where she grew up to attend a screening of one of her
early films. What begins as a whim turns out to be a highly profitable
trip, as it brings Jeanne into contact with an interesting collection of
individuals. These include the director of a militant holiday camp,
a seductive estate agent, a loopy actress, some cultivated ramblers and the
expected assortment of over-excited film addicts. She also runs into
a former lover who has lost none of his capacity to charm her. The
excursion reawakens not only Jeanne's zest for living but also her inspiration.
After seeing life from another angle she feels she has the confidence to
lift herself out of the disheartening rut she has fallen into...
