Film Synopsis
After his wife Rita died in tragic circumstances, musician Simon Médieu took the decision to start a new life, as a priest in a small Breton village. Seven years later, Simon could not be happier, content to spend his remaining days in contemplative prayer and consoling the widows of fishermen. Then, one day, he is visited by a stranger, Francisco, who identifies himself as Rita's husband. Simon can hardly believe what he hears. Rita is still alive. She staged her death because she could no longer endure living with him. Now it seems Rita is a changed woman. Her only wish is to make a fresh start with Simon...© James Travers
