Maria is a restless young Dutch woman and aspiring writer who lives in France, speaks five languages, has seven unfinished novels and is trying to finish her latest one. She moves to Taipei and lives on small jobs. There she meets Olivier, a young and shy French expat who works as a tour guide and can speak fourteen languages, and they fall in love. When things seemed fine between them, Olivier is diagnosed with a rare type of Leukemia and they must return to France to begin his treatment in Strasbourg.
The film was based on a real story that a woman who was an acquaintance of director Romain Cogitore told him about a bereavement that she was living, although the man she was talking about was not dead. [5]
