Synopsis: 

Marion, 25 years old, a joyful and enthusiastic young woman studying music finds an ad in a bakery: a photographer, Diane, is looking for a model to take part in shootings in sight of a talent show. Marion goes to Diane's, aged 50, who lives alone and has sold her travel agency in the city center. Diane offers Marion a surprising idea: Marion would have to throw two dices and, according to the number they give (25,53,48...), she would have to embody this age in front of the camera. Slowly, the shootings, although seriously done, become a time of exchanges where they talk about the world and everything in it, learning to know each other at the same time. Dices give truths that are changing but always fruitful.
