An old vagrant accidentally meets a man who has just killed his wife. They are both housed with an old woman who lives in the nostalgia of a youthful love.
André, in his fifties, a former Parisian jockey, lives on little tricks. Guy, a colossus in his thirties, has just arrived from the North where his mother runs an inn by a pond. Isabelle, a painter of nearly eighty years, with a very aristocratic appearance, lives as a recluse in her studio. Nothing could have predicted that such dissimilar characters would one day meet. And yet. - they will spend three days together during which, trained by André, Claude and Isabelle will live more intensely than they had ever done.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
