Synopsis
Wealthy, young lovers Mousse (Isabelle Carré) and Louis (Melvil
Poupaud) only have eyes for each. But their happiness is also
dependent on their need for drugs, and one day they overdose. While
Mousse survives, tragically Louis dies.
Soon afterwards Mousse discovers she's pregnant. Feeling bereft and
lost on her own, she flees Paris choosing to stay in a remote house
far from the buzz of Paris. Sometime later, Louis' brother joins her
in her refuge.
