Bright Days Ahead

Caroline (Fanny Ardant) has just retired from her job as a dentist, and the days that were supposed to feel like a reward turn out to be long and empty. Her family gives her a membership to the neighborhood senior club for her birthday, and she goes in reluctantly, where she meets Julien (Laurent Lafitte), the young computer teacher. Marion Vernoux treats this as a story about how little of a person's wanting ends when the working years do.
