A romantic dramedy about a philosophy professor caught between a decade-long partnership and an instant attraction to a carpenter, exploring whether opposites can sustain love beyond initial spark.

Sophia is a philosophy professor in Montreal and has lived as a couple with Xavier for 10 years. Sylvain is a carpenter in the Laurentians and must renovate their country house. When Sophia meets Sylvain for the first time, it’s love at first sight. Opposites attract, but can it last?
