Colin Morgan and Fanny Ardent sizzle. They have a fascination for each other that lights up the old house and gardens. A box is found under the ground. A young girl has no chemistry like the older one. Morgan's father was captivated by Ardent and now so is his son. Ardent wants to give him the house in Languedoc, but he refuses. She did love his father. A toy car is found. What baby lived in the house? This film is testament to film's ability to pick up chemistry. It could have been a silent film. The cinematography is hand held I read. There is a split personality to this film I also read. The plot line is unclear about what happened in the past. Maybe that lack of clarity is this film's weakness. I don't know what happened in the past. I don't know what was in the buried box. I don't know what child lived in that house. If the screenplay by Stoddard stayed with boy meets father's old love as the springboard to much more between the two that could work.
I feel I could not write a plot line for this film.
