What might put you off
  • Rated PG: peril. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1978: an older pace and style.

A widower maintains a memorial room filled with his late wife's belongings. When fire destroys it, he transforms a chapel into a new shrine to preserve her memory.
