Title: A glimpse of a group of disparate older women temporarily lost in an idyllic Quebec countryside.
Review: It begins in a foggy mist with a group of elderly Canadian women who leave their inoperable bus behind to settle for the time being in an abandoned farmhouse, then gradually reveals each of them as they ruminate the stream, lake and county-side, foraging for food, finding ways to complement their unusual existence. The women are a fascinating group, reflecting various ages, stations in life, races, etc. Nothing much happens before they are rescued, but getting to know them makes this a highly fascinating film. It might be thought of as a sophisticated "chick flick," but one that everyone will find worth seeing again and again.
