Synopsis
Long ago, 86-year-old Auguste got together with 88-year-old Marie; today she suffers from Alzheimer’s disease. This black-and-white film presents a subtle and sensitive portrayal of a silent love between two aging people as manifested in tender gesturesbouns to a life experienced in the motionless, timeless Belgian countryside.
