Summary

In a surreal Paris, Colin is a wealthy bachelor whose hobbies include developing his pianocktail (a cocktail-making piano) and devouring otherworldly dishes prepared by his trusted chef Nicolas. At a party, Colin meets Chloé, and, before they know it, they're plunging headfirst into a rapturous romance. Their courtship is tested when an unusual illness plagues Chloé: a water lily begins to grow in her lungs. To save her, Colin discovers the only cure is to surround Chloé with a never-ending supply of fresh flowers.
