Lily et Max sont mariés depuis plus de 50 ans. Ils vivent désormais tous les deux dans une maison de retraite, car Max a besoin d'une assistance médicale constante depuis son attaque cérébrale. Lily a mis ses envies de côté, pour être auprès de son époux. Quand un homme surnommé « Le pilote » emménage dans la chambre d'en face, Lily tombe très vite sous son charme et son appétit de la vie. Mais sa famille et les résidents voient cette nouvelle relation d'un mauvais oeil. Incomprise par ses enfants et se sentant prisonnière de sa vie avec Max, Lily décide de s'évader de cette prison invisible et d'afficher sa liberté. (ASC Distribution)

Critiques (1)
Denmark did it again and they made a movie that once again tends to react to the taboos in society. In this case, the topic is dementia and the movie involves a number of senior citizens afflicted with the illness. But the movie is trying very hard to be sensitive and it isn’t trying to induce a severe depression in the viewers. And that’s despite the fact that this is actually part of the job description for a standard Danish movie. So, the result was that I spent a while thinking about how things are going to look for me one day only to realize that the outcome might be whatever for me. Nevertheless, I also read several reviews here and I have to agree with what the user misterz wrote. The thing is that you cannot really compare a Czech (or Slovak) old folks’ home to one in Denmark. Simply go somewhere abroad and check out German senior citizens – see how good and well-preserved they look? That, however, changes nothing about the fact that pensioners from both countries would agree with the idea of this movie. Both the well-preserved ones from the west and the not-so-well-preserved ones from the Czech Republic. And I am happy to reward this idea with a four-star review for this film.
