This middling romance drama doesn't justify a night on your couch—the scores are telling, and there's nothing here exceptional enough to overcome them. Skip it unless you're specifically hunting for a forgettable affair story set in Paris.

Plot

A man and a woman are brought together by chance for several months. He is younger than she is, married, Russian, officially a diplomat stationed in Paris. She is a beautiful teacher and researcher, with her feet firmly on the ground. The film follows the evolution of their love, from the beginning to end.
