Film Synopsis

After recovering from a cancer illness, Lucie is having a hard time restarting her life, in spite of the well-meaning support she receives from those closest to her.  Encouraged by her friends and family, she goes to a disco, and this is where she meets Clovis, a seductive charmer who is too full of himself for his own good.  Too conscious of her physical appearance, Lucie cannot understand Clovis's obvious interest in her and she tries to avoid him.  She takes refuge in dancing, assisted by Dalida, a dance teacher who believes in living life to the full.  With the help of this extraordinary individual, Lucie will find a way out of her present impasse and rediscover her zest for living...
