Time & Tickets

Brieuc and his friends’ school cafeteria is being remodelled. To their great dismay, their teacher Aude takes them to the nearby nursing home to spend their lunch breaks. The head caretaker Yannick is not so happy to see them invade his residents’ territory. A generation clash seems inevitable. Who will declare war first: the residents or the guests? But shared interests and a series of comical situations spawn true friendships among the lonely geriatrics and the boisterous school kids.

Ranging from nostalgic songs to Rammstein, the soundtrack symbolises the differences between the generations and their respective interests. Nevertheless, the focus is on the similarities. A hopeful film about the positive effects of more mutual contact between people of different ages.

Andréa Bescond & Eric Métayer, France, 2023, 100 min. French spoken, Dutch subtitles. With Vincent Macaigne, Aïssa Maïga, Evelyne Istria, Christian Sinniger, Kristen Billon..
