synopsis

Cobbler Tuur walks out on his very own wedding anniversary-party. It isn't until the next morning that his wife Emma discovers his unslept bed. Tuur went to his sister Josée, a lesbian cabaret owner and performer. Emma is now faced with managing the cobbler shop all by herself... and with 'managing' Tuur's other sister, the bedridden Gerda, who lives in with them. Will Tuur come back? And if so, how willing will Emma be to give up her newly-discovered independence? A tender tale about the bittersweet taste of old love in desperate need of rekindling.
Cobbler Tuur quitte sa propre fête d’anniversaire. Ce n’est que le matin suivant que sa femme Emma découvre son lit vide. Turn est allé chez sa sœur Josée, gérante et artiste dans un cabaret lesbien. Emma doit désormais s’occuper seule de la cordonnerie… et de la « gestion » de l’autre sœur de Tuur, Gerda, qui est alitée et vit avec eux. Tuur va-t-il revenir ? Si oui, Emma sera-t-elle d’accord d’abandonner sa nouvelle indépendance ? Un histoire tendre au goût à la fois doux et amer d’un vieil amour ayant désespérément besoin d’être ravivé.
