Lisa isn’t the type to spout flowery words. When someone pleases her, she’s direct. However, when she meets Philippe Mermoz, a dark, handsome, and successful author, at a book fair, she feels it’s going to take a more cunning approach. She asks for help from Irène, a modest French professor, to write a few letters in her place in order to seduce him and arrange a meeting. Irène agrees, plays along, and suddenly her somewhat sad, provincial, monotonous life—a notary husband, a child she can’t manage to have—is turned upside down. The correspondence extends over several months, the letters come more and more quickly, become intimate. Irène finds an escape, coming to life with an indistinct hope… without knowing where this dream will take her.
