Just outside a hotel in Bordeaux, Philippe, a famous writer, chances upon a young man who bears a striking resemblance to his first love. What follows is a look back to Philippe's teenage years, to a winter morning in 1984, a small French high school, and a carefully-timed encounter between two seventeen-year-olds. It's the start of a secret, intensely-passionate, world-altering love affair between Philippe and his classmate. Besson's exquisitely moving coming-of-age story captures the tenderness of first love - and the heart-breaking passage of time.
