[ Story ]
Set in a nursing home on the outskirts of Paris known as Jardin de la Liberté ("Garden of Freedom"), the film follows Marie-Lou Fontaine, the facility's director, who strives to provide care rooted in dignity and humanity despite staff shortages and institutional constraints. Her life changes when she meets Mari Morisaki, a Japanese stage director battling terminal cancer. Moved by Mari's theatre work and drawn together by the coincidence of sharing the same name, the two women form an unexpected bond.When Mari's condition suddenly worsens, their relationship deepens, and together they struggle to make the impossible possible.
