A man and a woman are brought together by chance for several months. He is younger than she is, married, Russian, officially a diplomat stationed in Paris. She is a beautiful teacher and researcher, with her feet firmly on the ground. The film follows the evolution of their love, from the beginning to end.
This affair avoids the typical melodrama of forbidden romance by focusing on the quiet, domestic rhythms of two strangers sharing a temporary life. The tension lives in the unspoken friction between a grounded Parisian teacher and a restless Russian diplomat.
