The adaptation takes up the main lines of Sofie Cramer’s novel, already transposed to Germany. Jim Strouse, director and screenwriter, follows here in a vein close to his previous works, centered on fragile characters faced with starting over.

Fans of musical romances will find particular interest in the inclusion of new songs by Celine Dion and the use of pop icons such as “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now”.
