Lonely and destitute, Ali (Matthias Schoenaerts) leaves
the north of France for his sister's house in Antibes after becoming
the sole guardian of his estranged five-year-old son Sam. When Ali lands
a job as a bouncer in a nearby nightclub, things quickly start to look
up for the itinerant father and son. Then one night, after breaking up a
fight in the club, Ali
meets the radiant Stephanie (Marion Cotillard), and slips her his number
after dropping her off safely at home. Though Stephanie's position on
the high end of the social spectrum makes romance an unlikely prospect
for the pair, a tragic accident at Marineland robs her of her legs, and
finds her reaching out in desperation to Ali. Her spirit broken by the
same tragedy that took her legs, Stephanie gradually finds the courage
to go on living trough transcendent moments spent with Ali -- a man with
precious little pity, but an enormous love of life. ~ Jason Buchanan,

He discovers that a dog is sick and may have to be put down, but he can't understand why everyone's so concerned about it. The locals, including barman Jack, NOAH TAYLOR, tell him the story of the dog - how it was first seen some years earlier, how it hitched rides with people it liked and how it eventually attached itself to an American, John Grant, JOSH LUCAS, who soon after fell in love with Nancy, RACHAEL TAYLOR, who worked as a secretary for the mining company.
