“My plan was to die before the money ran out,” says 60-year-old penniless Manhattan socialite Frances Price, but things didn’t go as planned. Her husband Franklin has been dead for 12 years and with his vast inheritance gone, she cashes in the last of her possessions and resolves to live out her twilight days anonymously in a borrowed apartment in Paris, accompanied by her directionless son Malcolm and a cat named Small Frank—who may or may not embody the spirit of Frances’s dead husband.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deadpan meditation on loss and late-life displacement, where an aging socialite and her adult son drift through Paris with their possibly-haunted cat, finding strange grace in diminishment. It's tender without being sentimental, funny without reaching for easy laughs.
