On the last day of summer, Louise, an old woman realizes that the last train has departed without her. She finds herself alone in a small seaside resort town, abandoned by everyone. The weather quickly turns for the worse followed by the seasonal tides. Fragile and coquettish, not nearly as well-prepared as a would-be Robinson Crusoe, Louise isn't likely to make it through the winter. Yet, Louise takes her abandonment as a challenge. She's going to survive, confronting the elements as well as her memories, which have found the perfect occasion to join in the adventure... (San Sebastian International Film Festival)

A beautifully melancholic tale about how reconciliatory and, in its own way, magical the autumn of life can be. The poetry of the story is underscored by soft pastel colors, tasteful animation, and soul-pleasing music. It wouldn't be bad to grow old like this in the warm sunshine and the sound of the sea waves, especially with my faithful canine companion by my side. (95%)
