At a care home on the outskirts of Paris, director Marie-Lou fights to introduce a new approach that puts human dignity first. But her vision of a more humane way of life is soon met with resistance. When Mari, a terminally ill Japanese playwright, enters her life, an unexpected friendship develops, changing both women and the care home itself.
Ryûsuke Hamaguchi, director of the Japanese Oscar-winning Drive My Car (2021), received widespread acclaim at Cannes for his new film Ljuva framtid. A delicate meditation on the fleeting nature of life, it finds room for life’s biggest questions in its smallest moments.
