One chilly night, on a Paris bridge, a girl leans out over the Seine with tears in her eyes, contemplating the icy waters below. Suddenly, a stranger with a penetrating gaze emerges out of the darkness, a man who will change her life. It is Gabor, a once brilliant but now fading performer in need of a partner. He has set his sights on this luckless but oddly alluring girl, Adèle, a girl with nowhere to go who is shifting nervously on the edge of a decision. In his 18th film, an erotic fairy tale about luck and love, director Patrice Leconte again astonishes.Ultimately, these two halves of a whole must rely on their mystical connection to overcome the circumstances that conspire to keep them apart.
