Film Synopsis

On hearing that her 88-year-old aunt Martha is about to be forced into a retirement home against her will, Fiona, a Canadian librarian, heads for Paris without a moment's delay.  Alone and confused in a foreign land, Fiona strikes up an acquaintance with Dom, a homeless man who lives by the river in a tent.  Something attracts Dom to Fiona, and he cannot help trailing her as she traverses the capital on her mission to find her desperate old aunt.  At first, Fiona is irritated by her unwanted and somewhat egoistical follower, but she realises he may be able to help her when she discovers that Martha has mysteriously disappeared...
