Résumé/Summary
Ceri, violoncelliste de 84 ans, a perdu son mari d’un cancer et sa faculté de jouer suite à un accident vasculaire cérébral. Il vit dans la solitude, la monotonie, à l’exception des visites régulières des auxiliaires de vie, et la présence de son I-Pad. Via l’application Grindr, il invite un jeune escort à lui rendre visite, ce qui a des conséquences inattendues.
