In presence of the director
Rose-Alma is 80 years old. She is still very active and refuses to live off her daughter. She wants to be autonomous and live as she pleases. With the help of her granddaughter Odile, she rents a small house. It is then that she meets Clovis, the owner, who is only 66 years old. At first, they help each other out of friendship, but then, together, they fight against all odds to keep their independence.
Fernand Dansereau
Fernand Dansereau is a Québécois filmmaker, producer, screenwriter, editor, and cinematographer, born in 1928 in Montreal. In 1955, he joined the National Film Board of Canada at the invitation of Pierre Juneau. Over time, he took on various roles, including on-screen host, screenwriter, director, producer, and eventually head of French production. As a producer, he played a key role in several landmark works during the golden age of direct cinema. After leaving the NFB, he helped establish the Social Research Group, where he directed Saint-Jérôme (1968), a commissioned film analyzing the impact of economic changes on workers. Within this group, he also directed Tout le temps, tout le temps, tout le temps...? in 1969. He continued to focus on popular action and social intervention throughout the 1970s before turning to television in the 1980s and eventually returning to documentary filmmaking in the 2000s. He was received the Albert-Tessier Prize in 2005.
