Water Under the Bridge (2023)

De l'eau sous les ponts

Summertime, on a deserted river. 75-year-old Yvette is determined to obtain her pedal boat license, a way to make up for the life she never fully lived. Brian is approaching his thirties and has worked at Pedal'eau for the past ten years. Trapped in this menial job and suffering back aches, he dares not dream of another life. These two individuals, seemingly living in isolation, unknowingly venture down a stream of personal freedom. Between them, it's a matter of give and take.
