Quand tu seras Grand - When a nursing home is forced to share space with students at a nearby school while their cafeteria is being remodelled, generations mix and things get a bit complicated. Yannick, a nursing home employee, tries to cope with a lack of funding, as day-to-day life in the nursing home changes for everyone with the addition of the students. Over time, Andrea Bescond and Eric Metayer's heartwarming film showcases the inter-generational friendships that begin to form between the lonely, elderly residents and the boisterous schoolchildren.
