An eye-opening road trip through France and a fateful encounter. A lonely mother without a child and a passionate bookshop owner. An antique mirror and a mysterious book.
One sunny spring day in Dijon, a fearless forty-eight-year-old German businesswoman sits down in a cake shop with a thirteen-year younger vulnerable French bookseller. “My son is dead,” Brigitte announces. Christian pretends not to hear it and devours two pieces of cake – fearfully seeing his divorced wife in every dark-haired woman passing a love lost. A taboo.
They spend the day together.
And then another one.
And another one.
And one day, they go dancing.
A daring waltz filled with desire and delight.
Two broken hearts. Two fugitives on the quest in a starless night. In their agony and despair, in spite of their differences and secrets, against all odds, they become close. Surprisingly close.
As a thunderstorm approaches…
A story of letting go, forgetting, and forgiving. Of new beginnings, friendship, and passion.
An ode to hope, courage, and faith.
