Juliette in Spring
When 35-year-old Juliette, a childrenâs book illustrator, returns from Paris to her country village to spend some downtime with her loved ones, what she encounters is anything but low-key. Her harried elder sister Marylou is carrying on a âone-day-a-week" affair with a man from the costume shop; her grandmother is becoming frailer by the day, and her long-separated parents are feuding - he is kind and wry but emotionally distant, she is wildly-revelling in the second act of her life as a free woman.
As buried memories, unspoken truths and long-held secrets stir to the surface, Juliette meets the lonely, similarly-aged Georges, who proves an unlikely companion and sounding board, as she grapples with how to both remain connected to the fractured familyâs story, and reclaim her own identity.
