François Ozon directs this French drama. After her lover Louis (Melvil Poupaud) dies from a drug overdose, Mousse (Isabelle Carre, who was actually pregnant at the time of filming) discovers that she is expecting his baby. Grieving for Louis and still struggling with her addiction to the drugs that killed him and landed her in hospital, Mousse leaves Paris for a remote house on the French coast in an attempt to straighten herself out. There she leads a solitary existence until Louis's gay brother Paul (Louis-Ronan Choisy) turns up uninvited, and through the unlikely bond that develops between them Mousse finally achieves a degree of closure over Louis's death.
A woman flees to the sea after her lover dies of a sudden drug overdose in this intimate drama from director François Ozon. Parisian couple Mousse (Isabelle Carré) and Louis (Melvil Poupaud) are gorgeous, wealthy, and deeply in love. They share a fashionable apartment in a popular part of the city, but their charmed lives come crashing down all around them when, one morning, Louis' mother arrives at the apartment to find her son dead of an overdose, and his girlfriend lying unconscious nearby. When Mousse discovers that she is pregnant with Louis' child, she retreats to a country house by the sea, where she makes the decision to keep the baby. Later, Louis' brother Paul (Louis-Ronan Choisy) arrives at the remote house, entering into a tentative relationship with the fragile Mousse as she ponders an uncertain future without the love of her life.
