Parisian Maria (Déborah François), age 30, speaks five languages fluently. She’s a free spirit, impatient, rebellious, and fearful of commitment. Olivier (Paul Hamy), is the same age, a bit reserved, and speaks a staggering number of 14 languages! They meet in Taiwan and lightning strikes – “un coup de foudre”! Their deep love affair plays out amid beautiful people and scenic landscapes. Ultimately, health issues force them from Taiwan back to France. How far can love
go? What are its limits?
Director Romain Cogitore’s touching and poetic romantic drama is based on a true story. His two leads give fine performances and exhibit great on-screen chemistry. A superb film, not to be missed!
