Moitié-moitié ratings (Movie, 1989)

Héléna Malden is a very charming 70 year old woman. She certainly had glorious hours because she has this clarity, this luminosity peculiar to those whom fate has favored or who have known how to sort their lives and separate the wheat from the chaff. Arthur is in his early thirties, with an eternal adolescent look, made of tenderness and humor. Arthur often comes, he likes to rediscover this atmosphere, he likes to have lunch in the back room with Héléna, to evoke memories of entire days of happiness in the house downstairs - with Sarah, whom we do not talk about - Sarah, whose photo we glance at - Sarah, in this setting almost in parentheses. Together observing them in this small workshop where Héléna makes wonderful lace and silk dresses, they are truly the image of happiness.
