Céline

In the quiet outskirts of the French countryside, the sudden loss of a billionaire patriarch shatters the world of a twenty‑two‑year‑old heir. Céline is left holding the fragile remnants of a life built on wealth and expectation, only to relinquish her inheritance to a stepmother and watch her fiancé walk away. The cascading grief drives her to the brink, and a series of desperate attempts to end her pain land her in a modest hospital, where the atmosphere feels both stark and oddly hopeful.

Across the hallway, a seasoned home nurse arrives, bearing her own quiet storm of melancholy. Geneviève—a caregiver hardened by personal loss and an emerging heart condition—takes charge of Céline’s recovery with a calm that hints at lived experience. Their meeting, sparked by a rain‑soaked encounter outside a desolate street, sets the stage for an unlikely partnership, as both women find themselves drawn together by the need to mend what has been broken.

Within the walls of the family’s country estate, the Vieux Moulin, the two women begin to forge a rhythm that balances routine with moments of stillness. Céline is encouraged to look inward, swapping the easy comforts of medication for practices that nurture the mind and body—gentle structure, breath, and a tentative embrace of meditation. Geneviève’s steady presence offers a guiding hand, while her own struggles subtly mirror the fragile hope blooming in her patient.

The film unfurls in a tone that is both contemplative and tender, allowing the sweeping landscapes and hushed interiors to echo the internal journeys of its protagonists. As day gives way to night over the mist‑cloaked fields, the story lingers on the delicate process of rebuilding identity, trust, and a shared sense of purpose, inviting viewers to wonder how far two wounded souls might travel together toward quiet redemption.
