Comme à Ostende

Maria lives in Paris, Leo lives in Brussels. They’ve been separated for a year. But the distance doesn’t help them put an end to their break-up. One morning, Maria recieves an ultimate phone call from Leo, who pleads her to leave him alone. By day, Leo is a psychanalyst, and by night, he holds the family night shop. Leo must take a painful decision, he must drive his father, who has Alzheimer’s disease, to an old people’s home in Ostende. Maria is lost, fragile and has no bearings. She impulsively leaves Paris, in hope of gaining back her past life, of seeing Leo again. It’s time to leave for Ostende for Leo and his father. Maria travels with them, and on the way she discovers the reasons of this journey. A night on the beach renders the illusion of a couple reunited. Kidnapped from the old people’s home by Maria, Leo’s father goes missing. Each goes off in search for him, they end up meeting. As the beach slowly empties, they both remember.
