The Prince of Lyon

Elise is a French Literature student living in Lyon, France, and finds herself in the middle of November at the lowest point of her depression. It will have been two weeks that she hasn't been to a single one of her classes, nor has she seen anybody but her boyfriend who, to her regret, only came to see her once.

One day, as she was wallowing in her apartment, the young woman receives a call from her mother who asks her to take care of her younger sister for an afternoon. She half-heartedly accepts and takes little Amélie to see an expo about de St. Exupéry's work, The Little Prince; a story which enchanted Elise's childhood and that she forgot as she grew up.

There she will meet Antoine, the museum's storyteller, a passionate, princely young man who will know how to see that within Elise's sadness is hidden a broken soul which deserves to be protected and covered in nothing but gold and happiness.

Maybe some day, she'll see that herself.
