A straightforward, dramatic, yet still charming tale about a second youth that cannot have any age limits. A large Jewish family's mother, Rose, is relearning what it means to be a real woman after losing her husband. Not a housekeeper for her infantile sons, not just an elderly woman living alone, and not a devout widow, but a woman who loves life and is eager to take advantage of it. Rose meets new people (check out Michèle Moretti on the screen!), looks after herself, falls in love with a much younger man, rides around the city in a car, and makes it clear to her hypocritical children that she will no longer live her life for them. 89-year-old Françoise Fabian is stunning and you can't help yourself but fall in love with her again, like in those good old days. I have faith in you, Rose.
