Oscar winner Kevin Kline (A Fish Called Wanda) and the luminous Sandrine Bonnaire square off in this stylish and sophisticated dramedy of new found passions and mid-life triumphs, set on the postcard-perfect isle of Corsica. Lovely and quietly intelligent , French chambermaid (Bonnaire) comes upon a couple (The L Word's Jennifer Beals and Marie Antoinette's Dominic Gould) engaged in an intensely sensual chess match and discovers she has a knack for the game.This obsession, much to the chagrin of her husband and teenaged daughter, leads her to seek the clandestine tutelage of a reclusive American doctor (Kline, in his first French-speaking role) - a liaison that radically transforms both of their lackluster lives.
