This cult novel – considered unfilmable by many readers – by French writer, poet, musician, playwright, and bohemian, Boris Vian, enthralled entire generations with its unfettered fantasy.

The idealistic and inventive Colin (Romain Duris) lives in a city where cars have their steering wheel in the trunk, people skate backwards, and a piano mixes cocktails, seeing only his friends Nicolas (Omar Sy) and Chicka (Gad Elmaleh). One day, Colin meets the love of his life, Chloé (Audrey Tautou). But fragile Chloé, who reminds Colin of his beloved blues by Duke Ellington, falls ill with an mysterious disease: a water lily blooms in her lungs. The illness has a fatal impact on the lovers' carefree world...

Paris and a great love story. Jazz, humour, absurdity, irony, freedom from care as well as bitterness, escapes into fantastic worlds, the sparkling colours of topsy-turvy reality, a desire to know the meaning of life. A visual joyride and escape from reality.
