After burying his wife, Andrew Blake (actor John Malkovich) falls into a state of apathy: he no longer wants anything, is no longer interested in anything, and has no contact with anyone. He is snapped out of his stagnation by the idea of going to France, to the manor where he met his beloved. After packing his suitcase, he sets off on a journey that will undoubtedly be different from what he imagined.
