Synopsis

The day Aurore learns of her former music teacher’s death, her boyfriend dumps her and old wounds begin to resurface. That same day, Noah’s father has an alcoholic relapse, so he’s late for his interview for the plum newspaper job he’s been hoping for. Their paths cross, then cross again… and for one reason or another, they can’t seem to shake each other. A series of improbable events, misinformation and outright lies lead the mismatched twosome to spend night after night together, but never in one another’s arms. Yet their growing intimacy and mutual compassion may actually be deeper than romance.
