In this whimsical tale tinged by tragedy, director Jerome Bonnell artfully weaves the stories of Gilles (Serge Riaboukine), a recently widowed author, and his two children as they cope with their grief and the onward march of life. A gently humorous reflection on the nature of love and loss, the film follows the family members through their mourning and their uneven attempts to communicate and connect as they move on with their lives.
