Paris, 2005. In a house overlooking the Luxembourg Gardens, a man who looks like a Hollywood film actor, a representative of an American company, rents an apartment. A beautiful Chinese woman lives on the floor above. They begin an affair. Is a sincere feeling possible between them if they are not who they say they are? And is there even a place for love in political games in which these two are just pawns? Shan Sa, as a girl, left China for France after the events in Tiananmen Square and became a famous writer. The publishing house "Text" published two of her novels - "Playing Go" and "Gates of Heavenly Peace."
