After years of self-imposed exile, a pianist returns to France, where his former mentor has invited him to perform a series of concerts with her. Soon after his arrival, a chance encounter with a child who looks just like him throws the pianist into turmoil, and leads him back to his first love. French master Arnaud Desplechin returns to some of his favorite themes – psychologically charged homecomings and unexpected reunions – in this sensual, Hitchcockian melodrama.
