See the most agreed on films →Nathalie is a young woman deeply in love with her husband, whose sudden death leaves her shattered. For years, she retreats into her work, mechanically living in a state of grief. Then, one day, for no apparent reason, she spontaneously kisses an awkward, unassuming Swedish colleague named Markus. This impulsive act surprises everyone, including Nathalie herself. It marks the beginning of a tender, unconventional, and hesitant romance that slowly draws her back to life, challenging her sorrow and the expectations of those around her.
