Tres Chere Mathilde
Mathias, un New-Yorkais d’une cinquantaine d’années désargenté et désabusé, se rend à Paris dans l’appartement que son père lui a légué, dans l’intention de le vendre. Il est surpris d’y trouver Mathilde, une élégante vieille dame qui vit là avec sa fille Chloé, et apprend que le bien dont il vient d’hériter est en viager… Mais Mathilde, qui refuse de quitter les lieux, propose d’héberger Mathias, prêt à tout pour récupérer son bien. En lui révélant peu à peu le secret qu’elle garde pour elle depuis des années, elle va bouleverser le fragile équilibre de la situation.
