La dernière communion

After their monastery is converted into condos, Pierre, Paul and Jean, three septuagenarian brothers, decide to defrock and start fresh. With no savings or future plans, they take refuge at Aïcha’s and attempt to navigate the modern world. Pierre heads off in search of the long-lost love from his youth, while Jean finds his vocation alongside an anxious teenager he meets at his new job. Paul befriends Aïcha’s nephew, who encourages him to accept his sexuality. What seemed like an imminent end for these three ex-religious brothers turns out to be a late-in-life coming-of-age.
