An intense physical attraction turns Dominique, a poised, sophisticated career woman, and Quentin, a handsome, streetwise young hustler, into lovers. She gives him shelter and nurturing, and he gives her youth, beauty and excitement. But can their passion support the emotional weight of love?

“An elegant rumination on the attraction and chemistry between an older woman and a younger man, the film is a skillful blend of fire and ice that subtly conveys the emotional extremes fraught in the relationship” – Variety.
