Lean on Me is a touching Parisian love story and an exploration of the loneliness of contemporary life
When a flock of crows invades their apartment block, Parisian neighbours Aurore and Ludovic speak for the first time. Outwardly, the fashion designer and debt collector share little in common, but they both lead isolated lives, one trapped in a loveless marriage, the other paralysed by grief. There is an immediate spark between them, and when Aurore’s life begins to fall apart, Ludovic’s protective nature sets in motion a chain of events that spirals out of control.
