Mathias is an American writer whose deceased father has bequeathed him a large Parisian apartment overlooking the Luxembourg Gardens. The inheritance has arrived just in time as Mathias doesn’t even have enough money to purchase an airline ticket home. He plans to sell the building to a French developer and return to the States a rich man. Unfortunately, the apartment is occupied by a woman, Mathilde, in her 90’s and her daughter. The mother sold the apartment to Mathias’ father under a French law that allows her to live there until she dies plus she gets her expenses paid by the owner. My Old Lady is a charming character study about the relationships Mathias makes with Mathilde and her peculiarly vocal daughter Chloe. His father was not a good parent and Mathias blames him for decades of misfortune. Is it possible dad had some humane reason for wanting his son and these women to meet up?
