A washed-up painter meets his chaotic muse in a cherry orchard. What could go wrong?
Le Temps des cerises is a sentimental comedy, full of charm, on the life of two beings whom everything opposes, but which chance brings together. He is a painter and out of inspiration. She is young, pretty, full of life, not very sure of herself. They have nothing in common except their humor, their charm, their need to create and their passion for painting. They will live a few days together and both will emerge transformed from this parenthesis.
