Noeli lives with her boyfriend in a beach town in the Dominican Republic. The couple, who make a living at the expense of tourists, meet a mature French woman who has come to the island and introduce themselves as brother and sister. They have a plan in which Noeli will travel back to Paris with the woman and send her boyfriend money every month. But Noeli’s relationship with the woman takes an unexpected turn. Through her wonderful performance, Geraldine Chaplin bravely exposes the physical and emotional frailties of old age.
