Funny Birds (M)

In this warm and delightful comedy centred by the irrepressible French icon Catherine Deneuve, three generations of women find commonality in their radically different ways of living.

Charlie, a 20 year old student, returns to the family farm in Virginia to help his ailing mother. They have a different view of life: Charlie studies finance while Laura runs a chicken farm.

After a long absence, Solange, Laura’s mother, Charlie’s grandmother, also arrives at the farm… She’s French, feminist and eccentric. Solange left America while her daughter was still a child and they never saw each other again.

Will these three women, whom nothing seems to bring together, manage to live together?
