Nelly and Monsieur Arnaud

A tender, melancholic exploration of an unlikely friendship between two people separated by age and circumstance, complicated by unspoken desire and the passage of time.

Nelly leaves her lazy, unemployed husband to work for retired judge Mr Arnaud, forty years her senior, after he offers to clear her bills for her. While she types his memoirs the two develop a close friendship, but Arnaud becomes jealous when Nelly begins dating his good-looking young publisher.
