In the heart of old Marseilles, Rosa, a dedicated nurse and anchor of her family and community, discovers unexpected love and a renewed purpose when she meets Henri, an enigmatic figure who reignites her dormant aspirations. Unfolding against the backdrop of a city during a political awakening, And the Party Goes On takes us on a charming and romantic journey that proves dreams are ageless and love knows no bounds, echoing the essence of director Robert Guédiguian’s celebrated oeuvre.
Known for his ability to blend intimate human stories with the larger socio-political landscape, Guédiguian’s latest pays homage to the vibrant Armenian community in Marseilles. Delectable culinary moments, featuring a tantalising pasta dish adorned with anchovies and walnuts, evoke the comforts of familial bonds and nostalgia for home.
"Speaks of supportive and optimistic people, despite life's setbacks."
