A whimsical romantic comedy about two aging artists finding unexpected love through fate and serendipity, tinged with wistfulness about lost time.

Romeo, a lovelorn Roman musician in his 40s with 20 years since his only hit, consults a fortuneteller who predicts he'll find love and money with a foreign singer named for a flower. In Brussels he meets Marguerite, an older chanteuse who interprets Jacques Brel and loves her yappy dog.
