Summer Hours

After their well-respected, widowed, and weary 75-year-old French mother (Edith Scob) unexpectedly dies in this slow, realistic, low-key film, her three grown children, including a successful designer (Juliette Binoche) in New York City, a professor/writer (Charles Berling) in Paris, and a hardworking businessman (Jérémie Renier) commuting between France and China, reminisce about their summers growing up at her picturesque country house and then must deal with selling the burdensome estate, which is filled with valuable, museum-quality antiques from their late uncle, including paintings, furniture, sculptures, and glasswork.
