Paul - a farmer, fisherman and bachelor - will soon be 75 years old. He lives with his two younger sisters, also single, and is about to retire after working and living all his life in the Cotentin region. It is this particular moment that Rémi Mauger chooses to approach this man he knows well, emblem of a world long spared by modernity and doomed to disappear. A very fine portrait, where the director manages to find the right distance, helped in this by his character, admirable lucidity: "What do you want to do? A film? You're going to go to a lot of trouble. You're like everyone else. You must find me folkloric. But I'm not into folklore. I'm in my life. "
