Description
Haru, a successful Japanese art dealer, appreciates beauty, harmony, balance, and good sake.
One evening at a party, he meets Maud, an enigmatic Frenchwoman, and after a brief intense romance, he learns that she is pregnant with his child. But Maud issues him a heartbreaking warning: if he ever tries to see her or the child, she will kill herself.
Quietly devastated, Haru resigns himself to loving his daughter from afar. And Rose grows up on the other side of the world, without ever knowing her father. Is it too late to change things?
One Hour of Fervour explores these poignant themes with grace and subtlety, asking whether true beauty lies not in art or appearances, but in the courage to love.
