It's never too late to make memories.

Valentine has always lived in the shadow of her father, a top athlete. To limit the painful goodbyes that came with each move, she decided to keep her distance from others.

Today, her father needs her: suffering from Alzheimer's disease, he requires constant supervision. She, who has always made sure to fend for herself, now has no choice but to find someone to help her.

Since announcing his retirement at the peak of his rugby career in Australia, Luke needs to take stock of his life. This job as a home helper for the sportsman he long revered comes at just the right time, and he is full of ideas to stimulate the slipping memory of this man ravaged by illness.

But when he meets Valentine, Luke wants to take on a new challenge: to give the solitary young woman the adolescence she never had.

- Corse Matin "Emily Blaine has mastered the art of observing the meanderings of the heart"

- Au Féminin "One of the queens of French romance, Emily Blaine, gives us this gift to start the summer: to give us A little more love than usual!"
