Break of Day

Set in the picturesque surroundings of Saint-Tropez, this moving adaptation of Colette's semi-autobiographical novel presents an intimate portrayal of a woman reflecting on her life as she spends a summer at her bayside retreat. Now in her fifties, the protagonist finds solace in gardening, caring for her animals and vines, and reminiscing about her past relationships and her late mother. The serene atmosphere is disrupted by the arrival of an attractive young man and a restless young woman, both of whom are drawn to her and embody the complexities of desire and romance in their own lives. As the story unfolds amidst lush nature and introspective musings, viewers are invited to contemplate the enduring themes of love, loss, and self-discovery that transcend generations.
