Love holds inexplicable magic. After thirty years, Suzanne and Julien remain deeply in love, a happy and devoted couple. Suzanne is a beloved actress, and her fame sometimes borders on obsession with her young tenant, Simon. As she prepares to return to the stage, Suzanne is reluctant to take the lead in a new play written specifically for her. What Suzanne craves is one last moment of solitude with Julien, the man she loves and who reciprocates her feelings. Julien, with his grumbling and laughter, is her world—a world unseen and unheard by everyone but her.
