Synopsis

In a nursing home, one elderly resident, Valere, wants
only to leave and return home. Jacqueline, a fellow
resident, has the door code he needs but hopes for his
friendship. Much to his dismay, she offers the code in
exchange for him joining her to a dance. This film
signifies the importance that it is never too late to try
something new and make connections that change how
you view the world.
