Antoine is a script doctor: a high-flying consultant hired to cut the script of a movie before its green-lighted. Called to a film set on the Côte d'Azur, he casually cancels the role young hopeful Emma was cast in.

When she confronts him, her words and actions impart a few home-truths. Antoine chases after Emma to apologise. Little does he know that from then on, he wont be able to return to his old colourless life.

At Emmas side, Antoine embarks on an unexpected journey through a provincial France hes never seen before, right into the bizarre, exciting world of her eccentric family and the itinerant theatre company she belongs to.

A love story and a road movie, this charming tale proclaims the need to overcome our fears and reach out to others.
