Claire moves impulsively from NYC to Paris, where she nannies for the family from hell, battles wacky French bureaucrats, embarrasses herself in front of her Parisian crush, and navigates a toxic relationship—among other faux pas.

Claire is a young artist and puppet-maker in New York. One day, she suffers a rupture in her creativity, leading to depression. She becomes convinced the only cure is the art of another: Thibaut, a figure skater in Paris. Fixated on the artistry of this athlete she only knows from TV, Claire impulsively goes to Paris herself. There, she discovers the unexpected: Thibaut, too, is suffering from creative block. Now it's up to Claire to find the road back to her own creativity: a road strewn with disappointments, revelations - and balloons.
