Maniquerville, by Pierre Creton (2009)

The Maniquerville retirement home in Normandy is home to a number of senior citizens, many of them afflicted with neurodegenerative diseases. The actress Françoise Lebrun travels often from Paris to give readings for the residents, stimulating their memory and their speech.  A strong bond is formed between Françoise and Clara, who works at the home.
