Summary
It is never easy to say goodbye to someone one has grown to love.  It can take a whole lifetime, perhaps even two...  Between Paris in the 1960s and present-day Montreal there unfolds an epic love story that is as dark and troubling as it is luminous and full of hope.  Its main protagonists are Jacqueline, a young Parisian mother, and Antoine, a Canadian disk jockey.  The love that draws them together is like a badly drawn sketch - crude, unsettling and unfinished, and yet charged with deeper meaning...
