One man rekindles his passion for life with the help of an alluring French neighbor and inquisitive young girl. Jack (Academy Award nominee and BAFTA winner Bob Hoskins of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Mona Lisa) faces a time of loss and personal challenge until a ray of sunshine arrives in the unlikely form of eight-year-old Florrie. When she moves in next door, she delights Jack's neglected racing pigeons and unwittingly renews his own love for the birds. Meanwhile, his glamorous French neighbor, Stephanie (screen legend Josiane Balasko of Absolutely Fabulous) takes pity on him and Jack cannot help but fall for her charms. Just when things seem to get brighter, Jack's innocent friendship with Florrie comes under question when the girl goes missing and Stephanie reveals a well kept secret. Once again he finds his life in turmoil. When his son and Stephanie come to his defense amidst the local mob mentality, Jack redeems himself with a heartfelt plea that exposes his own prejudices. He fights to win back Stephanie's love. Two original songs by music star KT Tunstall underscore the film's passions and charm.
