Five unemployed workers win 100,000 Francs in the national lottery. Instead of sharing the money, they buy a ruin and build an open-air cafe. But difficulties come to split their friendly group apart.

VIBE

A poignant tale of camaraderie tested by fortune. It captures the fleeting joy of shared dreams and the harsh realities that can fracture even the strongest bonds. A classic drama that feels both grand and intimate.
