In unique dialogue full of rhymes, puns and quotations, it tells the story of a sudden love affair between two gifted but damaged people.

In Paris, Lucas is a talented and successful computer scientist who is diagnosed with a rare and fatal brain disorder, which means he will rapidly lose his memory and his ability to speak coherently.

Going from the hospital to a café, he is struck by a beautiful but eccentric young woman called Blanche.

Just after he orders them breakfast she walks out, not realising that his awkward remarks are through failing mental powers.

He takes her onto the deserted beach, where the two laugh and kiss as they walk to their deaths in the Atlantic breakers.
