Sinekatalog’s take

A married Frenchwoman living in Brazil returns home to see her ailing mother and rekindles an old love. A restrained romantic drama about time, regret and second chances. Suited to fans of quiet, grown-up French romance.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
