Romain, a photographer, learns that a malignancy may kill him within a few months. Decisions: treatment? work? how to tell his lover and his family. He remembers the sea and himself as a child. He stares in the mirror. He's cruel: facing death, he pushes people away - what's the point? He visits his grandmother to tell her; on the way, he chats briefly with a waitress. He looks at old photos, visits a childhood tree house. He takes pictures. Returning from his grandmother's, he stops for food and sees the waitress, Jany, again. She makes a request. He returns to an empty flat - his lover has left. Can Jany's proposition give him a way to move past self-pity?
Acclaimed filmmaker Francois Ozon's most intimate and lyrical work, "Time to Leave" features a moving performance from Melvin Poupaud as a 30 year old man facing up to the reality of his own mortality. With his perfect life thrown into chaos by the shock diagnosis of a serious illness, fashion photographer Romain finds himself unable to share the news with his boyfriend or family, confiding instead only in his grandmother (affectingly played by screen legend Jeanne Moreau). But anger and denial give way to an acceptance of sorts when a chance encounter with a waitress (Valeria Bruni-Redeschi) offer Romain a glimmer of hope and the unexpected chance to leave something of himself behind.
