In a lush countryside, Marie, a sound artist lacking inspiration, doubts her relationship while Noée, a passing traveler is mourned by the death of her father. In a suffocating city, young immigrant Eva must anchor herself in her new neighborhood while Jeanne, a master's student, thinks about leaving everything. Within these two narrative threads, each character is shaken by a significant encounter. A Splendor of Living is a sensual and poetic proposition: an indictment for living fully.
