At age 75, Germain leads a contemplative life in retirement, mixing a certain laziness with a dash of misanthropy. Lise, his wife of 50 years, takes care of everything around the house and happily fills her free time with artistic activities and volunteering. When Lise dies suddenly, Germain feels smothered by his family who tries to keep a close watch on him despite his wishes. They don’t realise that in secret, Lise and Germain made a pact: whichever one of them survives has to complete any projects the other had going. To honour his promise, Germain finds himself on stage for the first time in his life. He asks the choreographer Maria La Ribot to let him replace his wife in her contemporary dance show, which includes both professional dancers and amateurs.
