In 2025, nearly 30 individuals learn unexpectedly that they are linked by one shared ancestor, Adèle Meunier. The legacy awaiting them is
unusual: a countryside home in Normandy, abandoned for decades and suspended in time. Four of them, Seb, Abdel , Céline and Guy, are sent to
survey the estate. They enter the property expecting organisation, documentation and clear boundaries. The house replies with echoes. As
they uncover traces of Adèle’s life, the story opens onto another era. In 1895, Adèle leaves Normandy at twenty and reappears in Paris, a
city alive with invention, early photography and the rise of Impressionism. The film moves between 2025 and 1895, letting the past mirror
the present. This dialogue across time gently challenges the relatives’ certainties, inviting them to rethink identity, legacy and the
future they carry without realising it.
“A crowd pleasing comedy of France past and present.”
