The Sense Of Wonder (French May 2016)

The French title of The Sense of Wonder, a romantic comedy set in Provence, can be translated literally as “Le sens des merveilles ”. “Merveilles” not only means “wonders” in French but also refers to a donut-like pastry in South of France made by widow Louise. She struggles to raise two kids on her own and keep her late husband’s orchards. One day, she accidentally hits a stranger named Pierre with her car. She takes him home and takes care of him. Pierre is different from anyone she ever meets. Pierre’s Asperger’s Syndrome, his brilliant eccentricities, brings laughter and warmth to Louise’s household. However, Louise wants to keep Pierre away from her worst enough life. Can Pierre’s wonder heal her broken heart?
