Jean-Claude is a world weary older
man whose days are spent in the thank-
less job of 'hussier de justice' (the French
equivalent of a bailiff), delivering paper-
work to people facing eviction or seizure
of their possessions.
He took over the business from his father,
a brusque fault finding widower who
tries the patience of the care workers in
the rest home where his son dutifully visits him each Sunday. |

Across the street from Jean-Claude's office is a dance studio, and he decides to shake himself out of his dreary, stultifying rut by enrolling for tango lessons. There he is approached by a woman who tells him that his mother was her babysitter when she was a child. She is learning to dance in preparation for her wedding, but both she and Jean-Claude seem to share a longing for something more in their lives. A tentative bond develops, but each is justifiably cautious. |
