Un amour de quartier (1985)

-Alice, a woman in her sixties, wants to regain her independence. She leaves her shelter and moves across the street from a park in the heart of Montreal (Canada). Integrating herself into the life of the neighbourhood, she strives to make herself useful and finds a new source of energy and satisfaction in the new friends she makes: Cybèle, a rock singer; Ernest, her landlord, a grumpy guy with a soft heart; Lucien, the park's maintenance man, who likes to be helpful; Antoine, who likes to fly airplanes; Désiré, the dreamy, nostalgic Frenchman who suffers from an old love wound; and finally Speedy, the former cycling champion, now the park's sheltered hobo. Generous and wise, Alice helps these lonely people, isolated in their own world, to rediscover and love others.
