PLOT

Floundering twenty-something Nicolas Sinclair attempts to win the heart of a married woman by befriending her 12-year-old son in this independent comedy. His life in ruins, Nicolas arrives to live with his parents at a seaside retirement home, disrupting their peaceful retirement. When Nicolas meets Nina, he falls head over heels in love. But Nina is only using Nicolas as a means of getting back at her cheating husband André, a prominent theater director. Determined to win Nina's heart at any cost, Nicolas goes against her wishes by striking up a friendship with her son Quang, and attempting to gather enough information to charm the elusive beauty out of her turbulent marriage.
