This French drama depicts the lives of people who reside all year 'round in a small coastal town. Rose (Bulle Ogier) is a retired factory worker who spends much of her time at the nearby casino, and her son, Paul (Jonathan Zaccaï), is a lifeguard on the beach. Meanwhile, Paul's girlfriend, Marie (Hélène Fillières), works at the same factory that employed his mother, reflecting the town's tininess. As the seasons pass, Rosie, Paul, Marie and other locals go through various changes.

If you were lolling on the beach, casting your eyes at the scantily clad folks around you and overhearing bits of their conversations, it would be akin to the experience of watching Seaside. Go to Full Review
