A workaholic obsessed with books has a new neighbor: a crook dressed up as an eccentric American woman. Hélène, an editor of romance novels, lives a lonely and studious life. She escapes into books, convinced that life in there is way more beautiful than in the real world. Her strict routine is overthrown when a new neighbour, Mrs Mills, moves into the flat opposite hers. The elderly, eccentric American lady soon takes on an unexpected role in Hélène’s life. But sometimes appearances are misleading.
