This is a story about love and life spun by these two eccentric characters. The role of Mavie is played by Lolita Chama, Isabelle Huppert's daughter and a remarkable actress active on stage and screen. The role of Georges is played by legendary actor Jean Sorel. Virginie Ledoyen also stars as Mavie's friend. The film is directed by Elise Girard, an up-and-coming French director. The film was actually shot in a rented bookstore in Paris' Carce Latin. Veteran cinematographer Renato Berta's cinematography beautifully captures the light and darkness of modern Paris in this somewhat fantastical story. --Mavi is 27 years old and has recently moved to Paris. One day, she visits a small antiquarian bookshop in the Quartier Latin, where she meets a mysterious shopkeeper who is looking for a new employee. There she meets the enigmatic owner, Georges, who is as old as her grandfather and grandson. Despite the age difference between grandfather and grandson, they gradually become attracted to each other as they exchange words about books and share their loneliness. It is an eccentric, quiet, yet passionate love. But Georges has a darker past than that of an antiquarian bookshop owner. As Mavie comes into contact with his past, she herself takes a step forward into a new life...
