Madame Jacques sur la Croisette

The film traces a group of elderly French Jewish men and women all of Eastern European origin, as they meet each other periodically in spring time in Cannes, on the Mediterranean promenade, where they spend their afternoons together.

Bundled up in their jackets, they take walks, sit back to the sea, and exchange their past lives and their Yiddish. Maurice, widower, is no longer satisfied with this organised monotony and awaits impatiently the arrival of Mrs. Jacques, also a widow. Of what future can they talk about?
