Jane Aurélie Henry is a brilliant Canadian archaeologist just starting her career in France. But she’s alone in a foreign country without support, and she runs into trouble with the system.

But even so, she remains alone and beyond trusting anyone. So could the demolition of an old cinema bring them both happiness?
