Synopsis:

Comedy drama. A collection of characters crosses paths over the course of one day in Paris. Based on the premise that a butterfly beating a wing can create ripples that accumulate and reverberate, ultimately triggering a much greater event on the other side of the world, the story revolves around Irene, a store worker, who is told by a fellow Metro passenger that she will meet the love of her life on this particular day. A young man on the same train is happy to hear this news, but the two are separated when they disembark. Step by step circumstances slowly bring them together again.

How, thanks to what's known as the 'Butterfly theory' (a random series of unlinked events), can a young woman and a young man meet ?

A woman on the morning train tells that the full moon will lead Irene to her soulmate.
