Synopsis: Inspired by the novel An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris by Georges Perec, this experimental documentary captures the atmosphere and essence of a little café by the sea, and the intimate stories of characters who frequent it during their daily routines. It exposes the magic in the apparently mundane aspects of the place, and what it all means to the customers – many of whom choose to congregate there every single day.
