Matthew Morgan is a widowed, world-weary professor living alone in Paris. The cynical Matthew sees no meaningful future for himself – until he meets Pauline, a free-spirited young dance instructor. From their first chance meeting, each instinctively provides what the other so desperately needs: someone to call family. Even as they both struggle to heal the wounds of their troubled pasts – including Matthew’s attempts to reconnect with his estranged children – the unlikely bond they form ultimately leads them to rediscover the joy that only family and true friendship can offer.
