They are Jude a once-famous restaurateur Wendy an acclaimed public intellectual and Adele a renowned actress now mostly out of work. Struggling to recall exactly why they've remained close all these years the grieving women gather at Sylvie's old beach house-not for festivities this time but to clean it out before it is sold.
