Dir. Gilles Legardier, France, 2025, 110 mins. In French and English with English subtitles. Cast. John Malkovich, Fanny Ardant, Emilie Dequenne.
English businessman Andrew Blake is full of grief for his wife. Hoping to remember some of the happy times they shared, he returns to France, his late wife’s birthplace, to spend some time in the property where they met. But things don’t quite go to plan. In fact, following a misunderstanding, he ends up at Beauvillier Manor, as expected... but as a butler on probation.
A far cry from the peace and serenity he was seeking, Blake realizes this manor is
like an island harbouring a bunch of likeminded castaways who help him finally start blossoming all over again.
