Changing the Water of the Flowers | Valérie Perrin

Violette Toussaint is a cemetery keeper in a small town in Burgundy. Passersby and regulars come to confide in her and warm up in her lodge. With the small team of gravediggers and the young priest, she forms an unconventional family. But what events led Violette to this world where the tragic and the comical intertwine?
After the success of "Les Oubliés du dimanche," a new hymn to the wonder of simple things.
